## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Isolated orofacial clefts (OFCs) are likely to be caused by geneโenvironment interaction; therefore, the objective of the current study was to evaluate the possible association between all maternal diseases during pregnancy and isolated cleft lip with or without cleft pal

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Moderate caffeine intake during pregnancy is common, but little is known about its potential association with birth defects. **METHODS:** The National Birth Defects Prevention Study is a populationโbased, caseโcontrol study of major birth defects, excluding infants with
Maternal alcohol use during pregnancy is a known cause of birth defects associated with the fetal alcohol syndrome, but its role in more common, isolated, craniofacial birth defects is not well understood. A population-based, case-control study of orofacial clefts was conducted in Iowa using births
Maternal folic acid supplementation has been suggested to play a role in the prevention of nonsyndromic orofacial clefts, i.e., cleft lip ฯฎ cleft palate. Using a case-control design, we investigated vitamin-dependent homocysteine metabolism in 35 mothers with nonsyndromic orofacial cleft offspring a
## Background: To characterize the prevalence of orofacial cleft malformations and investigate variations in prevalence according to maternal and infant characteristics, we analyzed a cohort of 298,138 live births delivered between 1987 and 1990 to residents of washington state. ## Methods: Infan
Electric and magnetic fields are of concern as risk factors for adverse reproductive outcomes, including congenital anomalies. Among residential exposures to electric and magnetic fields, electric bed-heating devices such as electric blankets may be a substantial source of such exposures, and their
