Levetiracetam-induced cutaneous adverse drug reactions were not associated with HLA genes in a small sample of Chinese patients with epilepsy
Levetiracetam (LEV) was first approved by United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) in December 1999 and proved to be effective in both partial and generalized epilepsy syndromes either as adjunctive treatment or monotherapy (Berkovic et al., 2007; French and Pedley, 2008). Unlike other antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), LEV has unique structural feature, novel antiepileptic mechanism and also fewer adverse side effects. One of the most common adverse reactions, AEDs-induced cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs), has been less reported in LEV. (Source: Epilepsy Research)

Altered GABAA receptor expression in brainstem nuclei and SUDEP in Gabrg2+/Q390X mice associated with epileptic encephalopathy
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause for death in individuals with epilepsy. The frequency of SUDEP correlates with the severity of epilepsies and lack of response to antiepileptic drug treatment, but the underlying mechanisms of SUDEP have not been elucidated fully. GABRG2(Q390X) is a mutation associated with the epileptic encephalopathy Dravet syndrome (DS) and with genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) in patients. The Gabrg2+/Q390X knockin (KI) mouse phenocopies the major features of DS and GEFS+ and has SUDEP throughout life. (Source: Epilepsy Research)
