What is DHFR 19 bp Deletion and Anencephaly Risk about?

This study investigates the maternal influence of the DHFR 19 bp deletion variant on the susceptibility of foetuses to anencephaly using a family-based triad approach. Results indicate that foetuses with the deletion genotype are at a significantly higher risk for anencephaly, particularly when the deletion is maternally transmitted. The findings highlight the importance of considering both maternal and paternal genetic effects in the etiology of neural tube defects.
