Background: Maternal periconceptional supplementation of folate reduces the incidence of neonatal Neural Tube Defects, indicating that changes in folate metabolism play a role in formation of NTDs. The mutations on two genes involved in folate metabolism, the C677 of the MTHFR gene and the RFC-1(A80G) gene are potential risk factors of NTDs.
Methods: In this study, we analyzed the genotypic distributions and allele frequencies of MTHFR C677T and RFC-1 A80G polymorphisms in DNA samples from mothers with at least one previous child with NTDs (the NTD group) and controls.
