Statement of problem: We have shown that the C677T 5,10 methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) variant is associated with elevated maternal serum α-fetoprotein (MSAFP), the most common screening test for neural tube defects (NTD). Therefore, past contradictory studies of NTDs and C677T MTHFR ma...
