Genes in glucose metabolism and association with spina bifida.

Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) - 1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

The authors test single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in coding sequences of 12 candidate genes involved in glucose metabolism and obesity for associations with spina bifida. Genotyping was performed on 507 children with spina bifida and their parents plus anonymous control DNAs from Hispanic and Caucasian individuals. The transmission disequilibrium test was performed to test for genetic associations between...
