The polymorphic mutation C677T in the gene of MTHFR is considered a risk mutation for spina bifida and vascular disease. Another common mutation on the MTHFR gene, A1298C, has also been described as another risk mutation. We studied the frequencies of these two mutations on DNA samples from healthy

Patients with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency often show psychiatric manifestations. Since a common variant of the MTHFR gene, T677(Ala), responsible for the thermolabile MTHFR with less than 50% specific MTHFR activity, has been reported, we examined whether the T677 allele i

Spina bifida cystica (SB) is one of the most common and disabling of birth defects. Folic acid supplementation in mothers during the periconceptional period has been shown to prevent more than 70% of neural tube defects (NTD) including SB. However, the mechanism is unknown.
