ABSTRACT

Abstract Background : The gene mutation of coding sodium channel is one of the most important mechanisms in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. There exists a large inter-individual variation in the efficacy of valproic acid (VPA) against epilepsy. What are the genetic polymorphism influences of sodium channels on VPA response is still under discussion. In this study, a meta-analysis was used to further explore the effects of SCN1A and SCN2A gene polymorphism on VPA response in children with epilepsy. Methods : The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Science and Technique Journals Database, China Biology Medicine disc, and Wan Fang Database were searched up to April 2021 for appropriate studies regarding the association between SCN1A and SCN2A gene polymorphism on VPA response in children suffering from epilepsy. The meta-analysis was conducted by Review Manager 5.3 software. Results : The results of this meta-analysis will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. Conclusion : This meta-analysis will summarize the effects of SCN1A and SCN2A gene polymorphisms on VPA response in children with epilepsy. OSF Registration Number: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/N2786.
