Description

To the Editor: In their report, Infante-Rivard et al. (1) presented evidence that homocysteine (Hcy) values were largely 15 [micro]mol/L in the participants in their case--control study. The cases were born at their institution over a 2-year period and had birthweights below the 10th percentiles for gestational age and sex. The control group included babies born at or above the 10th percentiles. The mothers were also included in the study. These investigators initiated their research based on an assumption that higher maternal and newborn Hcy concentrations in plasma would increase the risk of intrauterine growth restriction through placental thrombosis. In contrast to their proposed hypothesis, however, they concluded that mothers with small babies had lower Hcy concentrations than those giving birth to larger infants.
