Abstract excerpt
The reduced folate carrier (RFC1) plays a crucial role in mediating folate delivery into a variety of cells. RFC1 polymorphism (A80G) has been reported to be associated with increased risk of neural tube defects (NTDs). However, results derived from individually underpowered studies are conflicting. We performed a systematic search of MEDLINE and EMBASE databases and carried out a meta-analysis on the association...
