## Abstract ## BACKGROUND A 28‐bp repeat polymorphism in the 5′UTR of the thymidylate synthase (__TYMS__) gene represents a candidate risk factor for neural tube defects (NTDs) due to involvement in folate‐dependent homocysteine metabolism. Non‐Hispanic, white, U.S. citizens carrying at least one
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Hyperthermia produces neural tube defects (NTDs) in a variety of animal species. Elevated maternal body temperatures may also place the developing human embryo at risk. We examined the relation between maternal hyperthermia and the development of NTDs in a high‐risk Mexic
