Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The development of non-syndromic congenital heart defects (CHDs) involves a complex interplay of genetics, metabolism, and lifestyle. Previous studies have implicated maternal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and altered metabolism in folate-related pathways as CHD risk factors. OBJECTIVE: We sought to discover associations between maternal SNPs and metabolites involved in the homocysteine,...
