Abstract excerpt
Methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (mutase) are the only two known vitamin B(12) (B(12)) dependent enzymes in humans. A lower level of B(12) has been shown to be an independent maternal risk factor for neural tube defects (NTDs) prompting an investigation of common genetic variants within B(12) dependent enzymes. To investigate the role of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase variants we studied 279 complete...
