Abstract excerpt
Non-syndromic cleft lip/palate (NSCL/P) is a common congenital defect in Mexico. Periconceptional intake of folic acid (FA) may reduce the risk of this malformation. Although the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enzyme participates in folate metabolism, several studies failed to find any association between NSCL/P and the MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms. However, interactions among NSCL/P,...
