Folic acid have been shown to reduce the incidence of neural tube defects by lowering plasma levels of homocysteine.
Homocysteine is a teratogen for CNS and heart.
women with reduced activity of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase exhibit elevated levels of homocystein and are at risk for bearing children with neural tube and other birth defects.
