Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by the University of the Punjab in Lahore, Pakistan, aimed to understand the molecular mechanism of Myelomeningocele (MMC), a congenital disease. The study focused on the mutational analysis of the FOLR1 and FOLR2 genes in children with MMC. Blood samples were collected from twenty children, and PCR-based mutational analysis was performed. The results showed no mutations in the selected exons of the FOLR1 and FOLR2 genes, suggesting that genetic variations in folate transporter genes may not play a role in the progression of MMC in this population.
