What's the 
Spina Bifida Genetics Research Project About? 
     This study continues our research to identify genetic 
     factors that influence spina bifida (myelomeningocele). In 
     this phase of the project, we are analyzing the genes 
     involved in how our body utilizes the vitamin folic acid.
The Spina Bifida Genetics Research Project needs both mothers who have a
 child affected by spina bifida and mothers who do not have a child 
affected by a birth defect.
