Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Folate receptors (FRs) facilitate embryonic uptake of folates and are important for proper early embryonic development. There is accumulating evidence that blocking FR autoantibodies contribute to developmental diseases. However, genetic factors associated with the expression of FR autoantibodies remain unknown. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effects of genetic polymorphisms in folate pathway genes on...
