Effect of CPS14217C>A genotype on valproic-acid-induced hyperammonemia.
In order to clarify the factors causing hyperammonemia and to predict occurrences during treatment with valproic acid (VPA), we investigated the effect of the genetic polymorphism of carbamoyl-phosphate synthase 1 (CPS14217C>A) on susceptibility of hyperammonemia, together with the effect of coadministration of other anticonvulsants. ⋯ These findings suggested that in epileptic patients undergoing VPA therapy, CPS14217A polymorphism and the number of coadministered anticonvulsants would be considered as risk factors for hyperammonemia, even if the serum VPA concentrations were controlled.
