## Abstract __TXN2__ encodes human thioredoxin 2, a small redox protein important in cellular antioxidant defenses, as well as in the regulation of apoptosis. __Txn2__ knockout mice fail to complete neural tube closure by E10.5 and die in utero. We hypothesized that genetic variation in human __TXN
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Several studies have suggested that homozygosity for the C677T 5,10βmethylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) variant is a potential risk factor for neural tube defects (NTDs), as individuals homozygous for the C677T allele have slightly elevated homocysteine concentrat
## 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 caseβcontrol study aimed to evaluate the effect of maternal C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of the methylenetetrahydrofola
