Genetic effects on variation in red-blood-cell folate in adults: implications for the familial aggregation of neural tube defects.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Feb 1997

Mitchell L E, Duffy D L, Duffy P, Bellingham G, Martin N G

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have implicated folic acid as an important determinant of normal human growth, development, and function. Insufficient folate levels appear to be a risk factor for neural tube defects (NTD), as well as for several chronic diseases of adulthood. However, relatively little is known about the factors that influence folate status in the general population. To estimate the relative contribution of...
