## Background: Decreased maternal folate levels are associated with having a child with a neural tube defect (ntd), and periconceptual folic acid supplementation reduces this risk by >50%. vitamin b(12) (as methylcobalamin) is a cofactor for methionine synthase, an enzyme that plays a key role in f
