Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To study the association between CYP2C19*2 (681 G > A) and UGT1A6*2 (552A > C) polymorphisms on Valproic acid (VPA)-induced weight gain in People with epilepsy (PWE). METHODS: We recruited PWE on VPA monotherapy and genotyped for CYP2C19 and UGT1A6 polymorphisms. Association between CYP2C19 polymorphism and weight gain was the primary outcome parameter. We followed them up monthly for six months and...
