## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CLP) and cleft palate only (CPO) have an inherited component and, many studies suggest, a relationship with folate. Attempts to find folateβrelated genes associated with clefts have, however, often been inconclusive. This study exa
## Background: Gastroschisis is a severe birth defect in which the infant is born with a portion of the intestines extruding through a small tear in the abdominal wall, usually to the right of the umbilical cord. its etiology is unknown, but the prevailing hypothesis is that it results from a vascu
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Both environmental and genetic factors are involved in the etiology of NTDs. Inadequate folate intake and obesity are important environmental risk factors. Several folateβrelated genetic variants have been identified as risk factors; however, little is known about how ge
