Oral facial clefts and gene polymorphisms in metabolism of folate/one‐carbon and vitamin A: a pathway‐wide association study
AssociationN=425Abee L. Boyles et al.(2009)· Genetic Epidemiology

A pathway-wide association study in 425 case-parent triads examined 109 SNPs in 29 folate/one-carbon metabolism genes and 68 SNPs in 16 vitamin A metabolism genes for associations with cleft lip/palate (CL/P) and cleft palate only (CPO). Despite strong epidemiologic evidence that folic acid and vitamin A reduce cleft risk, no convincing genetic associations were found; the strongest association was FOLH1 with CPO (p=0.0008), but findings were fewer than expected by chance and inconsistent with protective effects of vitamin supplementation, suggesting vitamin metabolism gene polymorphisms do not play an etiologic role in oral facial clefts.

About TGFB2

This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate a latency-associated peptide (LAP) and a mature peptide, and is found in either a latent form composed of a mature peptide homodimer, a LAP homodimer, and a latent TGF-beta binding protein, or in an active form consisting solely of the mature peptide homodimer. The mature peptide may also form heterodimers with other TGF-beta family members. Disruption of the TGF-beta/SMAD pathway has been implicated in a variety of human cancers. A chromosomal translocation that includes this gene is associated with Peters' anomaly, a congenital defect of the anterior chamber of the eye. Mutations in this gene may be associated with Loeys-Dietz syndrome. This gene encodes multiple isoforms that may undergo similar proteolytic processing. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]
