Neural tube defects, vitamins and homocysteine.

European journal of pediatrics - 1 Apr 1998

Eskes T K

Abstract excerpt

Folic acid (multivitamins) reduce the recurrence and occurrence of neural tube defects (NTDs). Vitamin profiles seem not suitable to identify women at risk for NTDs. A subset of these women have hyperhomocysteinaemia and a mutation of the gene for thermolabile methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). From studies with the rat embryo in vitro, it can be concluded that the de- and remethylation cycle of...
