[Advances in the study of the etiologic relationship between reduced folate carrier gene (RFC1) and neural tube and craniofacial defects].

Abstract excerpt

Neural tube and craniofacial defects are common birth defects which are ascribed to the combination of genetic and environmental factors. The population epidemiological studies suggested that periconceptional use of multivitamins containing folic acid can reduce a woman's risk of having a child with neural tube and craniofacial defects. It's a major environmental factor that periconceptional women with deficiency...
