To address this gap, we conducted a meta\u2010analysis involving all eligible studies. <jats:bold>METHODS:<\/jats:bold> Electronic literature searches of the PubMed, EmBase, and Medline databases were performed up to October 31, 2011. Fixed\u2010effects or random\u2010effects models were used to calculate the pooled odds ratios (ORs) for two genetic comparisons (heterozygous mutation vs. wild type, homozygous mutation vs. wild type). <jats:bold>RESULTS<\/jats:bold> A total of 18 studies were ultimately identified. The pooled results revealed no statistical association between infant and maternal C677T and A1298C variants and risk of cleft lip with or without palate (CL\/P) or cleft palate only (CPO), except for the maternal 677TT genotype for CL\/P, the OR was 1.32 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06\u20131.63) as compared to the normal 677CC genotype. In the subgroup analyses on CL\/P data based on ethnicity and source of control subjects, almost all of the results were replicated as nonsignificant associations in both examined polymorphisms, whereas the pooled risk estimate calculated for maternal 677TT genotype in the white population remained statistically significant, with an OR of 1.36 (95% CI, 1.05\u20131.76). <jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:bold> This meta\u2010analysis suggests that maternal MTHFR 677TT genotype might increase the risk of having a CL\/P offspring in the white population. However, these findings remain to be confirmed by additional investigations.
