## BACKGROUND: The etiology of neural tube defects (NTDs) is multifactorial, with environmental and genetic determinants. Folate supplementation prevents the majority of NTDs, and a polymorphism in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) has become recognized as a genetic risk factor. The mech

## Abstract In this paper, we trace the history of current research into the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that underlie folate‐preventable neural tube defects (NTDs). The inspired suggestion by Smithells that common vitamins might prevent NTDs ignited a decade of biochemical investigations—fi
