Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Valproate (VPA) as a first-line antiepileptic drug is useful for the most types of epileptic seizure treatment. Previous studies observed that VPA influenced one-carbon metabolism (OCM), consequently, DNA methylation. However, other individual genetic variations, as well as VPA, modify DNA methylation. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we investigated associations between genetic variations in OCM and...
