Blood samples are collected, and genotyping was performed using a custom platform array analysis.Results: The SLC1A1 rs10815018 and FAM131B rs4236482 polymorphisms found to be associated with epilepsy susceptibility. Moreover, SLC1A1 rs10815018 and GPLD1 rs1126617 polymorphisms were associated with generalized epilepsy (GE), while FAM131B rs4236482 is associated with the focal phenotype. Regarding the therapeutic response, the genetic polymorphisms of FAM131B rs4236482, GABRA1 rs2279020, and CACNG5 rs740805 are conferred poor response (resistance) to AEDs. There was no linkage of GLPD1 haplotypes to epilepsy, its subtypes, and treatment responsiveness.Conclusion: Our findings suggested that SLC1A1, FAM131B, and GPLD1 polymorphisms increasing the risk of generating epilepsy, while FAM131B, GABRA1, and CACNG5 variants may play a role in predicting drug response in patients with epilepsy (PWE).Keywords: pharmacogenetics, anti-epileptic drugs, generalized epilepsy, focal epilepsy, pharmacotherapy, Jordan |
