A Polymorphism, R653Q, in the Trifunctional Enzyme Methylenetetrahydrofolate Dehydrogenase/Methenyltetrahydrofolate Cyclohydrolase/Formyltetrahydrofolate Synthetase Is a Maternal Genetic Risk Factor for Neural Tube Defects: Report of the Birth Defects Research Group

Women who take folic acid periconceptionally reduce their risk of having a child with a neural tube defect (NTD) by >50%. A variant form of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) (677C→T) is a known risk factor for NTDs, but the prevalence of the risk genotype explains only a small portion o...
