rs11627387

This case-control study examined 29 polymorphisms in four folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism pathway genes (MTHFD1, SHMT1, MTHFR, DHFR) in Hispanic and non-Hispanic white populations to assess their association with conotruncal heart defects. MTHFD1 rs11627387 was associated with a 1.7-fold increased risk in both Hispanic mothers (OR=1.7, 95% CI=1.1-2.5) and Hispanic infants (OR=1.7, 95% CI=1.2-2.3). MTHFR rs1801133 (C677T) showed a 2.8-fold increased risk among Hispanic mothers with low dietary folate intake, while rs1801131 (A1298C) showed a 2.0-fold increased risk among those with higher folate intake. Gene-folate interactions were observed, suggesting maternal multivitamin use and dietary folate intake may modify conotruncal heart defect risk.

Case-control study (222 cases, 454 controls) examining gene-folate interactions in five folate-related genes (MTHFD1, MTHFR, SHMT1, DHFR, TYMS) and neural tube defect risk. Maternal MTHFR SNPs rs1476413, rs1801131, and rs1801133 showed decreased NTD risk with low folate intake (OR=0.55-0.69, 80% CI); infant MTHFD1 SNPs rs2236224, rs2236225, and rs11627387 showed increased risk (OR=1.53-4.25, 80% CI); maternal SHMT1 rs669340 showed protective gene-only effect (OR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.49-0.96).
