Prophylactic administration of folic acid by pregnant women has greatly reduce the incidence of these malformations. However, despite preventive measures, reports of such serious adverse events continue to be recorded.

The effect of this mutation on the metabolism of folic acid and possible recommendations to patients are discussed. |
