TLDR
Three siblings and a twenty year old girl have been recorded by two different groups of investigators as having congenital isolated defects of gastrointestinal absorption of folic acid, resulting in recurrent megaloblastic anemia and associated with mental retardation, convulsions and a neurologic movement disorder.About:

Laboratory Tests for the Assessment of Nutritional Status
TL;DR: The CRC Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences: Vol. 4, No. 3, No 3, pp 215-340 as discussed by the authors was the first publication of a comprehensive review of laboratory tests for the assessment of nutritional status.

Vitamin homeostasis in the central nervous system.
TL;DR: Several groups of investigators have suggested that pharmacologic doses of certain water-soluble vitamins, including vitamins B6, B12 and C and niacin, may be useful in the treatment of schizophrenic patients.

The Hematopoietic System
TL;DR: Anemia is probably the commonest effect of nutritional deficiency in human beings and has certainly been the most extensively studied.

Aseptic addition method for Lactobacillus casei assay of folate activity in human serum
TL;DR: In this article, an enzyme addition method is described for a microbiological assay with Lactobacillis casei of folate activity in human serum, where the manipulations involved in the assay are halved, by deleting autoclaving of serum in buffers.

Effects of folic acid on the mental state and fit-frequency of drug-treated epileptic patients
TL;DR: It is concluded that folic acid partially reverses both the therapeutic (antiepileptic) and retarding effects of phenobarbitone, phenytoin, and primidone.

Megaloblastic anaemia due to phenobarbitone; the convulsant action of therapeutic doses of folic acid.
TL;DR: It has been shown that adult patients in this hospital are more likely to develop staphylococcal sepsis if they are nasal carriers of Staph.
Journal ArticleDOI
The absorption and malabsorption of folic acid and its polyglutamates
TL;DR: Evidence indicates that folic polyglutamate is malabsorbed to a greater degree than free folic acid, suggesting that intestinal conjugase deficiency or inhibition may play an important role in pathogenesis of this malabsorptive disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anticonvulsant therapy, megaloblastic haemopoiesis and folic acid metabolism
TL;DR: It was found that neither morphological changes in the peripheral blood nor biochemical investigations were reliable indications of megaloblastic haemopoiesis, and all three major anticonvulsant drugs appear to be capable of causing folate deficiency.
