Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of heterozygosity and homozygosity for the C677T mutation of the 5,10 methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene on the activity of this enzyme in placental tissue from pregnancies not affected by neural tube defect. DESIGN: Placental tissue was genotyped for the C677T variants of MTHFR. Total enzyme activity and residual activity after heating to 46 degrees C for 5 minutes...
