Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants of enzymes involved in the folate pathway might be expected to have an impact on neural tube defect (NTD) risk. Given its key role in folate metabolism, the methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1) gene could represent an attractive candidate in NTD aetiology. In this study, the impact of the MTHFD1 1958G > A polymorphism on NTD risk in the Italian population was examined both by...
