  • Other Comments:

    The author presents a fine case study of the possible maternal risk factors for NTD and DS. The findings in the study are highly suggestive of the impact altered BHMT on foliate-independent pathways for NTD and DS—this is after all—a single case study and therefore calls for more research in this area to confirm the informative findings of the author.
