title: Sister-chromatid exchanges in epileptic patients on anticonvulsant therapy.
abstract: Sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) have been studied to analyze genotoxic effects in epileptic patients on anticonvulsant therapy. All patients had an increased frequency of SCE per metaphase (p < 0.001) compared to controls, indicating a genotoxic effect of anticonvulsant drugs.
