Abstract
The intronic rs6730344, rs6732655 and rs10167228 polymorphisms of the SCN1A gene are a potential risk factors for drug resistance. AA e AT genotype of the rs1962842 intronic polymorphism also emerged as a risk factor in the drug resistant group. Therefore, polymorphisms of the SCN1A gene could play a role in the response to AED in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, with important implications for clinical practice.
