Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gene-environment interactions have been implicated in the development of neural tube defects (NTDs). METHODS: We conducted a case-control study to investigate (1) the association of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) genetic variants and phase I metabolic enzymes with the risk of NTDs and (2) the interaction of these variants with maternal exposure to indoor air pollution from smoking and coal combustion...
