Article

An investigation of folate-related genetic factors in the determination of birthweight.

Paediatric and perinatal epidemiology - 1 Sept 2005

Relton Caroline L, Pearce Mark S, Burn John, Parker Louise

Abstract excerpt

Recent evidence suggests that maternal folate status in early gestation is a significant determinant of infant birthweight. Folate metabolism is known to be controlled by genetic factors, with a number of polymorphic variations in folate metabolising genes identified, several of which have well-d...
