Evaluation of 64 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms as risk factors for neural tube defects in a large Irish study population
AssociationN=2,079Tonia C. Carter et al.(2011)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A

This case-control and family-based study evaluated 64 SNPs in 34 genes for associations with spina bifida in 558 Irish case-families and 994 controls. Spina bifida was significantly associated with LEPR rs1805134 (GRR: 1.5, P = 0.0264) and COMT rs737865 (GRR: 1.4, P = 0.0206), with additional confirmations of previous findings in MTHFR 677C>T and other genes, suggesting roles for leptin signaling and methylation pathways in neural tube defect pathogenesis.

About PADI4

This gene is a member of a gene family which encodes enzymes responsible for the conversion of arginine residues to citrulline residues. This gene may play a role in granulocyte and macrophage development leading to inflammation and immune response. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
