Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Neural tube defects (NTDs) are one of the most prevalent and the most severe congenital malformations worldwide.

In this study, we explored association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) within folate metabolic pathway genes with NTDs in Han population of Northern...
