Abstract excerpt
Nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC) are one of the most common congenital anomalies in humans. Great efforts have been taken to unravel its genetic background. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an important enzyme in folate metabolism and two of its functional polymorphisms, MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C, might be associated with NSOC susceptibility. The aim of the present study was to investigate...
