AIM: The clinical efficacy of valproic acid (VPA) varies greatly among epileptic patients. To find the potential genetic factors related to VPA responses, the pharmacogenetics study was conducted. METHODS: Two hundred and one Chinese Han epileptic patients who were treated by VPA for at least 1 year were recruited.
