## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Maternal alcohol consumption has been associated with an increased risk of nonsyndromic oral clefts in some studies. Study of gene‐environment interaction may provide insight into the reasons for their discrepancies observed. We focused on a polymorphism of the ADH1C gene
Endogenous estrogen and tobacco smoke are putative risk factors for breast cancer. The genes CYP1A1 and 1B1 are involved in the metabolism of endogenous estrogen as well as of tobacco specific compounds. In a German population based case-control study of premenopausal breast cancer risk with 394 cas
Extensive epidemiological and genetic studies of the cause of oral clefts have demonstrated strong familial aggregation but have failed to yield definitive evidence of any single genetic mechanism. We used the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) to investigate the relationship between oral clefts
The aim of this study was to obtain quantitative information from published data on the association between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and the prevalence of serious lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in infancy and early childhood. We identified 21 relevant publications on the
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is one of the most common craniofacial malformations, with a complex and multifactorial etiology. Because of the genetic heterogeneity of facial clefts, the aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of previously r
