Abstract excerpt
The 677 C --> T polymorphism in the 5-10 methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene has been associated with nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) in some populations, but not others. Previous studies (ie, case-control and transmission disequilibrium tests (TDT)) in Brazilian families with CL/P have been unable to replicate this putative association. However, our group observed a lower...
