Abstract excerpt
The folate receptor beta (FRbeta) gene encodes a receptor that binds and transports 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. FRbeta polymorphisms may potentially alter folate delivery and are likely candidates for an association with neural tube defect (NTD) risk. To look for association between FRbeta polymorp...
