Abstract excerpt
Neural tube defects are a common, complex disorder with genetic and environmental components to risk. We investigated the previously reported interaction between homozygosity for the thermolabile variant at the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and heterozygosity for the 844ins68 allele at the cystathionine beta-synthase loci in cases with lumbosacral myelomeningocele and their parents. Using control allele...
