Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the relationship between genotypes of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), and plasma folate and homocysteine (Hcy) levels in meningomyelocele, 21 Korean patients, 47 of their family members, and 43 healthy controls were recruited. The presence of C677T mutation in the MTHFR gene and plasma concentrations of folate/Hcy were investigated. The genotype frequency of C677T mutation was not higher...
