Paternal Valproate Treatment and Risk of Childhood Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Precautionary Regulatory Measures Are Insufficiently Substantiated
On January 12, 2024 the safety committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended precautionary measures over a potential risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children born to men treated with valproate. These new measures recommend patient supervision by a specialist in the management of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, or migraine. In the United Kingdom, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued a far more stringent precaution, warning against prescribing valproate to anyone under 55 years of age. We, members of the European Network of Teratology Information Services (ENTIS) and the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS), believe that the EMA and MHRA warnings were premature. We are of the opinion that the underlying scientific data do not convincingly substantiate the inference of a paternally mediated risk from valproate to children, much less to an extent that justifies these far-reaching recommendations.
期刊介绍:
The journal Birth Defects Research publishes original research and reviews in areas related to the etiology of adverse developmental and reproductive outcome. In particular the journal is devoted to the publication of original scientific research that contributes to the understanding of the biology of embryonic development and the prenatal causative factors and mechanisms leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes, namely structural and functional birth defects, pregnancy loss, postnatal functional defects in the human population, and to the identification of prenatal factors and biological mechanisms that reduce these risks.
Adverse reproductive and developmental outcomes may have genetic, environmental, nutritional or epigenetic causes. Accordingly, the journal Birth Defects Research takes an integrated, multidisciplinary approach in its organization and publication strategy. The journal Birth Defects Research contains separate sections for clinical and molecular teratology, developmental and reproductive toxicology, and reviews in developmental biology to acknowledge and accommodate the integrative nature of research in this field. Each section has a dedicated editor who is a leader in his/her field and who has full editorial authority in his/her area.
