## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (__MTHFR__) of the folate metabolism pathway is a candidate gene for neural tube defects (NTDs). Frequency of the second common polymorphism, A1298C, in the __MTHFR__ gene is not well known in Mexico. Conflicting results exist regardin
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: An impaired DNA methylation has been suggested to underlie the complex etiology of neural tube defects (NTDs). Previously, we have demonstrated that inhibition of methylation by periodate oxidized adenosine (Adox) results in a widening of the anterior neuropore (ANP) in
## BACKGROUND: Valproic acid (VPA) causes the failure of neural tube closure in newborn mice. However, the molecular mechanism of its teratogenesis is unknown. This study was conducted to investigate the genomewide effects of VPA disruption of normal neural tube development in mice. METHODS: Micro
