Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Excessive oxidative stress has been demonstrated as a mechanism for neural tube defects (NTDs). The current exploratory study sought to examine sequence variations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and 2 (SOD2) genes in patients with myelomeningocele and to identify variants altering risk for myelomeningocele. STUDY DESIGN: We sequenced deoxyribonucleic acid from 96 patients with myelomeningocele....
