Abstract
We analyzed the results of an examination of 68 patients (children and adolescents), 42 (62.69 %) boys and 26 (37.31 %) girls, aged 5 months to 18 years, the average age was 9.6 ± 5.65 years. Children suffer from severe, refractory to the treatment forms of epilepsy. Duration of the disease from 1 month to 16 years. All children were given genetic research using the allelic method CYP2C9*1,*2,*3 of a specifi c polymerase chain reaction. In the study group dominated homozygous carriers by the allele CYP2C9*1 — 76.47 %. This genotype is quite common in many populations and is typical for fast meta bolism. The carrier of CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 alleles, which is functionally linked with biotransformation of drugs, slowing down their metabolism and occurrence of side effects, was found in 22.53 % of patients.
