From HealthDay News (4/23), Reuters (4/23):
Children born to mothers who took valproate while pregnant had an
almost threefold increased risk of having an autism spectrum disorder,
a Danish study found. In some mothers who took the epilepsy drug during
their pregnancy, the risk of having a child with autism was more than
four times greater. The findings, based on 656,000 children born in
Denmark between 1996 and 2006, appear in the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
