Correlation of polymorphism of MTHFRs and RFC‐1 genes with neural tube defects in China
16 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Maternal periconceptional supplementation of folate reduces the incidence of neonatal Neural Tube Defects, indicating that changes in folate metabolism play a role in formation of NTDs. The mutations on two genes involved in folate metabolism, the C677 of the MTHFR gene and the RFC-1(A80G) gene are potential risk factors of NTDs. METHODS: In this study, we analyzed the genotypic distributions and...
