Abstract excerpt
Homozygosity for a common polymorphism in the 5,10 methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene (C677T) has been associated to an increased risk of neural tube defects as well as derangements in folate, homocysteine, and hematological parameters. This study analyzed the relationship between folate levels, the erythrocyte volume, and the presence of homozygosity for the C677T polymorphism in a group of 126...
