Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To search the interaction between reduced folate carrier gene (RFC1 A80G) polymorphism of children with neural tube defects (NTDs) and maternal periconceptional no supplementation of folic acid. The purpose is to provide the epidemiological evidence for finding genetic marker of NTDs. METHODS: RFC1 (A80G) genotype was detected using PCR-restricted fragment length polymorphism for the blood DNA of 104...
