Abstract Background Prenatal intake of folic acid is important for prevention of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). Associated genes in folate pathway are major enzymes of folic acid metabolism that is crucial for preventing birth defects. The present study aims to investigate the association between four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in folate pathway genes and the risk of NSCL/P. Methods Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was used to predict the functional pathogenicity of genetic variation. The PubMed, Embase database and Google Scholar were intensively searched by two researchers to ascertain all relevant studies. Stata 11.0 software was used to analyze the results. Subgroup analysis was carried out to assess the influence of genetic background. Sensitivity analysis, regression analysis and publication analysis were also conducted to enhance the strength of our results. Results It is estimated that the probability of two missense mutation rs1801133 in MTHFR and rs1801394 in MTRR are more likely to be damaging by bioinformatics analysis. A total of 34 publications were included in the present study analysis. Our results showed a significant association between rs1801133 and risk of NSCL/P in two genetic models: TT allele vs CC allele (OR=1.333 95%CI=1.062-1.674, P =0.013), and recessive model (OR=1.325 95%CI=1.075-1.634, P =0.008). A significant association between rs1801394 and the risk of NSCL/P in Asian (GG allele vs AA allele, OR=0.520 95%CI=0.321-0.841, P =0.008) was also observed. Meta-regression, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias analysis confirmed that the results of the present study were statistically significant. Conclusions The present study highlights two SNPs rs1801133 in MTHFR and rs1801394 in MTRR, associated with the increasing risk of NSCL/P. Further, larger studies should be performed to confirm these findings.

Abstract Background: Prenatal intake of folic acid is important for prevention of NSCL/P (nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate). Associated genes in folate pathway are major enzymes of folic acid metabolism that is crucial for preventing birth defects. The present meta-analysis aims to investigate the association between four SNPs in folate pathway genes and the risk of NSCL/P. Methods: Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was used to predict the functional pathogenicity of genetic variation. The PubMed, Embase database and Google Scholar were searched by two researchers. Stata 11.0 software was used to analyze the results. Subgroup analysis was carried out to assess the influence of genetic background. Sensitivity analysis, regression analysis and publication analysis were also conducted to enhance the strength of our results. Results: It is estimated that the probability of two missense mutation rs1801133 in MTHFR and rs1801394 in MTRR are more likely to be damaging by bioinformatics analysis. A significant association between rs1801133 and risk of NSCL/P in two genetic models: TT genotype vs CC genotype (OR = 1.333 95%CI = 1.062–1.674, P = 0.013), and recessive model (OR = 1.325 95%CI = 1.075–1.634, P = 0.008). A significant protective association between rs1801394 GG genotype and NSCL/P in Asian (GG vs AA, OR = 0.520 95%CI = 0.321–0.841, P = 0.008) was observed. Meta-regression, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias analysis confirmed that the results of the present study were statistically significant. Conclusions: The present study identified that rs1801133 in MTHFR is associated with the risk of NSCL/P, and rs1801394 GG genotype in MTRR play a protective role in Asian. Further, larger studies should be performed to confirm these findings.

Abstract Background Prenatal intake of folic acid is important for prevention of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P), genes participant in folate pathway are crucial for preventing birth defects. The present study aims to investigate the associations between four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in folate pathway genes and the risk of NSCL/P. Methods Prediction by bioinformatics was conducted to assess the function of genetic variation. The PubMed, Embase database and Google Scholar were searched by two researchers to identify all relevant studies. Stata 11.0 software was used to calculate the results. Subgroup analysis was conducted to assess the influence of the genetic background. Sensitivity analysis, regression analysis and publication analysis were conducted to improve the strength of the results. Results Two genetic variations rs1801394 in MTRR gene and rs1801133 in MTHFR were predicted damaging. A total of 34 publications were included in the present analysis. The results showed that there were a significant association between rs1801133 and NSCL/P risk in two genetic models TT allele vs CC allele (OR=1.333 95%CI=1.062-1.674, P=0.013) and recessive model (OR=1.325 95%CI=1.075-1.634, P=0.008) and there were a significant association between rs1801394 and NSCL/P risk in Asian (GG allele vs AA allele, OR=0.520 95%CI=0.321-0.841, P=0.008). Meta-regression, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias analysis confirmed that the results of the present study were statistically robust. Conclusions This present study suggests that rs1801133 of the MTHFR gene and rs1801394 of the MTRR gene are risk factors for NSCL/P. Additional, larger studies should be performed to confirm these findings.

Periconceptional folic acid supplementation can reduce the risk of inborn malformations, including orofacial clefts. Polymorphisms of MTHFR, TCN2, and CBS folate-related genes seem to modulate the risk of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) in some populations. CL/P and cleft palate only (CPO) are different malformations that share several features and possibly etiological causes. In the present investigation, we conducted a family-based, candidate gene association study of non-syndromic CPO. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms, namely, rs1801133 of MTHFR, rs1801198 of TCN2, and rs4920037 of CBS, were investigated in a sample that included 129 Italian and 65 Asian families. No evidence of association between the three genotyped polymorphisms and CPO was found in the Italian and Asian cases, indeed the transmission disequilibrium test did not detect any asymmetry of transmission of alleles. This investigation, although with some limitation, further supports that CL/P and CPO diverge in their genetic background.
