Maternal dietary intake of vitamin A and risk of orofacial clefts: a population-based case-control study in Norway.

چکیده
A population-based case-control study was carried out in Norway between 1996 and 2001. The aim was to evaluate the association between maternal intake of vitamin A from diet and supplements and risk of having a baby with an orofacial cleft. Data on maternal dietary intake were available from 535 cases (188 with cleft palate only and 347 with cleft lip with or without cleft palate) and 693 controls. The adjusted odds ratio for isolated cleft palate only was 0.47 (95% confidence interval: 0.24, 0.94) when comparing the fourth and first quartiles of maternal intake of total vitamin A. In contrast, there was no appreciable association of total vitamin A with isolated cleft lip with or without cleft palate. An intake of vitamin A above the 95th percentile was associated with a lower estimated risk of all isolated clefts compared with the 40th-60th percentile (adjusted odds ratio = 0.48, 95% confidence interval: 0.20, 1.14). Maternal intake of vitamin A is associated with reduced risk of cleft palate only, and there is no evidence of increased risk of clefts among women in our study with the highest 5% of vitamin A intake.

متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) genetic variants, maternal smoking, vitamin use, and risk of human orofacial clefts.
Orofacial clefts have been associated with maternal cigarette smoking and lack of folic acid supplementation (which results in higher plasma homocysteine concentrations). Because endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) activity influences homocysteine concentration and because smoking compromises NOS3 activity, genetic variation in NOS3 might interact with smoking and folic acid use in cleftin...
