abstract = "Impaired folate metabolism has been suggested as a potential risk factor for the development of asthma and atopic disease. However, there have been conflicting reports on the potential association between atopic disease and a common polymorphism of the methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)-gene, a well-known marker of impaired folate metabolism.",
