For SCN2A polymorphism c.56 G > A rs17183814, one hundred patients with epilepsy who were receiving lamotrigine in monotherapy and seventy-one age and sex matched healthy controls were genotyped using TaqMan assay.
To evaluate sodium channel genes as candidates for epilepsy susceptibility and their role in therapeutic efficacy, we screened coding single-nucleotide polymorphism of SCN1A p. Thr 1067 Ala or c.3184 A-->G (rs2298771) and SCN2A p.Arg19Lys or c.56 G-->A (rs17183814) in north Indian epilepsy patients.
