Evaluation of the MTHFR C677T allele and the MTHFR gene locus in a German spina bifida population.

European journal of pediatrics - 1 Jun 1998

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: A number of recent studies have demonstrated that the occurrence and recurrence risk of neural tube defects (NTD) is reduced by folic acid supplementation before and during pregnancy. Epidemiological studies have shown low plasma folate and raised plasma homocysteine in women with spi...
