Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Orofacial cleft (OFC) is the most prevalent craniofacial birth defect. Genes involved in one-carbon, folate and vitamin B12 metabolisms have been associated with OFC but no study performed a concomitant assessment on genes involved in these three pathways. OBJECTIVE: We looked for potential genetic variants associated with OFC using an exhaustive gene panel of one-carbon metabolism. METHODS: We...
