Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Folic acid supplement use is recommended in pregnancy to reduce the risk of neural tube defect but concerns have been raised that increasing folic acid intake may select for embryos with genotypes that increase disease risk in the offspring. Our aim was to test for this effect. DESIGN: Observational prospective cohort study. SETTING: Aberdeen Maternity Hospital. POPULATION OR SAMPLE: Women born before...
