Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Valproic acid (VPA) is widely used in the treatment of children with epilepsy. Genetic polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes may be an important source of interindividual variability in VPA metabolism. VPA is a substrate of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7). In this study, we seek to evaluate the effects of genetic polymorphisms of the UGT2B7 gene on serum...
