Genetic studies of the cystathionine beta-synthase gene and myelomeningocele.

Birth defects research. Part A, Clinical and molecular teratology - 1 Jan 2012

Tilley Melissa M, Northrup Hope, Au Kit Sing

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Among infants born with spina bifida, the most common defect is myelomeningocele (MM). The prevention of MM by maternal periconceptional folic acid (FA) supplementation has been studied extensively. The protective effect provided by FA suggests that the genes involved in folate metabolism, such as cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS), warrant further investigation. METHODS: This study sequenced the DNA...
