Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to investigate how age and genetic polymorphisms of UGT1A6 and UGT2B7 contribute to the concentrations of valproic acid (VPA) and its hepatotoxic metabolites in Chinese pediatric patients with epilepsy. METHODS: A total of 122 children with epilepsy were genotyped at 19T>G, 541A>G, and 552A>C in UGT1A6 and -161C>T and 802C>T in UGT2B7 using the polymerase chain...
