title: Lack of association between MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C genetic polymorphisms and mental retardation.
abstract: Findings suggest that there is no association between MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C and mental retardation in the studied Italian population and that these polymorphisms are not contributing to the aetiology of mental retardation.
