Abstract excerpt
A hospital-based case-control study was conducted to identify interactions between the 538(T-->C) polymorphic site of bone morphogenetic protein 4 gene (BMP4T538C) and exposures in pregnancy with nonsyndromic cleft lip, with or without cleft palate (nsCL/P). Associations between offspring polymorphism of BMP4T538C, paternal smoking, paternal high-risk drinking, maternal passive smoking, and maternal multivitamin...
