Abstract excerpt
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), an important enzyme in folate metabolism, is thought to be involved in the development of nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC). However, conflicting results have been achieved when evaluating the associations between infants' MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms and the risk of NSOC. To obtain more precise estimations of these associations, a meta-analysis recruiting...
