Neural tube defects (NTDs) have a well-established genetic basis, although no single genetic factor has been identified as a major risk factor in NTD susceptibility. A large number of association studies have been conducted to investigate the possibility that NTD susceptibility is linked to polymorphic variation in genes involved in early embryonic development or in the absorption or metabolism of folate, a...
