Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphisms and their association with trisomy 21
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To verify whether the frequencies of 5,10-methylenotetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms at positions 677 and 1298 are higher in women with children affected by trisomy 21 than in those with chromosomally normal offspring. METHODS: A case-control study was carried out with 70 women whose children had trisomy 21 and 88 controls whose children were chromosomally normal. The frequencies of...
