## Abstract Neural tube defects (NTDs), including anencephaly and spina bifida, arise from the failure of neurulation during early embryonic development. Neural tube defects are common birth defects with a heterogenous and multifactorial etiology with interacting genetic and environmental risk fact

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Alterations in maternal folate and homocysteine metabolism are associated with neural tube defects (NTDs). The role played by specific micronutrients and metabolites in the causal pathway leading to NTDs is not fully understood. ## METHODS We conducted a caseβcontrol st
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Previous findings for the Texas Neural Tube Defects Project suggested that while maternal access to nutrients is adequate, bioavailability of nutrients to the fetus is compromised in NTDβaffected pregnancies. __Helicobacter pylori__ could cause nutrient loss to the fetus
