摘要：
The thermolabile variant (677TT) of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a known risk factor for neural tube defects (NTDs). The relationship between a second MTHFR polymorphism (1298A→C) and NTD risk has been inconsistent between studies. We genotyped 276 complete NTD triads (mother, father and child affected with an NTD) and 256 controls for MTHFR 1298A→C. Our findings do not support a role for the 1298A→C polymorphism in NTDs (OR 0.85 (95% CI 0.49–1.47), p= 0.55), nor do we observe a combined effect with the 677C→T polymorphism.
