Abstract
In connection with the widespread use of anticonvulsants (antiepileptic drugs – AEDs) in psychiatric and neurological practice and the need for their long-term use to treat a wide range of mental disorders and neurological diseases, the question of their safety profile, including the assessment of the risk of developing life-threatening conditions and adverse reactions (ADRs), becomes relevant. In this regard, from the position of personalized medicine, it is critical to develop an interdisciplinary approach with the participation of doctors of various specialties and a new strategy of a personalized approach to predicting AED-induced prolongation of the QT interval as one of the most prognostically unfavorable cardiological ADRs (including sudden death syndrome – SDS). We searched for full-text publications for the period from 2011 to 2021 databases using the following keywords and its combination. We have found and systematized monogenic and multifactorial forms of long QT syndrome (LQTS) and candidate genes that slow down AEDs metabolism in the liver. Identification of risk alleles of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) of the candidate genes predisposing to the development of AED-induced LQTS and SDS will make it possible to adjust the choice and dosage of these drugs and prevent the development of ADRs, which will improve the quality of life of patients and prevent SDS in the patients with psychiatric and neurological disorders.Keywords
