## Abstract Abnormal folate/homocysteine metabolism due to polymorphisms in genes involved in this pathway has been implicated as an etiologic factor in Down syndrome (DS). This case–control study aimed to evaluate the effect of maternal C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of the methylenetetrahydrofola
