Abstract
Epilepsy was among the first disease areas to begin to apply principles of precision medicine to its treatment. This review looks at the role of investigation in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of antiepileptic drug treatment. Using sound principles, we can see that the use of genetic testing will advance treatment of epilepsy in reducing harm and adverse effects and enhancing efficacy.
