Experts' opinions on ethical issues of genetic research into Alzheimer's disease: results of a Delphi study in the Netherlands.

abstract：:In a sample of 79 pregnant women at risk offspring with neural tube defects (NTDs) and 158 controls, significantly increased median values were found for apo-transcobalamins I and II in amniotic fluid in the group at risk, thus confirming previous results. The findings may reflect a genetic disposition to NTDs associa...
