Bioessays 25:464-77. 2003..However, using the special methods required to identify teratogenic alleles is important because this could lead to new approaches to prevention and improved therapy of these disorders...- New 19 bp deletion polymorphism in intron-1 of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR): a risk factor for spina bifida acting in mothers during pregnancy?William G Johnson

Department of Neurology, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, 675 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA
Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 163:542-6. 2009..To test whether HLA-DR4 acts in the mother, possibly during pregnancy, to contribute to the phenotype of autistic disorder in her fetus...- Common dihydrofolate reductase 19-base pair deletion allele: a novel risk factor for preterm deliveryWilliam G Johnson

Mov Disord 16:442-7. 2001..We conclude that the tau protein may play a small role in the pathogenesis of PD and that biochemical characterization of this role may suggest opportunities for PD prophylaxis... - Risk of autistic disorder in affected offspring of mothers with a glutathione S-transferase P1 haplotypeTanishia A Williams
Department of Neurology, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA
