Study Protocol: 
This will be a prospective study to be performed at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. Total 
study duration for each patient will be 1 year. All patients enrolled in the study will be on the 
same folic acid dose of 800mcg. Folate levels will be obtained from each patient at the onset 
of the study, and these will act as the controls. Each patient will then be placed on weekly 
folic acid dosing, and repeat folate levels will be obtained at 6-month intervals until 
conclusion of the study.
