We examined the association of heart defects with four polymorphisms in folate-related genes (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (<jats:italic>MTHFR<\/jats:italic>) c.677C &gt; T,<jats:italic>MTHFR<\/jats:italic>c.1298A &gt; C, methionine synthase reductase (<jats:italic>MTRR)<\/jats:italic>c.66A &gt; G, and reduced folate carrier (<jats:italic>SLC19A1<\/jats:italic>) c.80A &gt; G) in a case\u2013control study of children (156 patients, 69 controls) and mothers of children with heart defects (181 patients, 65 controls), born before folic acid fortification.<jats:italic>MTRR<\/jats:italic>c.66A &gt; G in children modified odds ratios for overall heart defects, specifically ventricular septal defect and aortic valve stenosis (p-value below 0.05). The 66GG and AG genotypes were associated with decreased odds ratios for heart defects (0.42, 95% confidence interval (0.18\u20130.97) and 0.39 (0.18\u20130.84), respectively). This overall association was driven by decreased risk for ventricular septal defect for 66GG and AG (odds ratio 0.32 (0.11\u20130.91) and 0.25 (0.09\u20130.65)) and decreased odds ratio for aortic valve stenosis for 66AG (0.27 (0.09\u20130.79)). The association of ventricular septal defect and 66AG remained significant after correction for multiple testing (p = 0.0044, multiple testing threshold p = 0.0125). Maternal<jats:italic>MTHFR<\/jats:italic>1298AC genotype was associated with increased odds ratio for aortic valve stenosis (2.90 (1.22\u20136.86), p = 0.0157), but this association did not meet the higher multiple testing threshold. No association between<jats:italic>MTHFR<\/jats:italic>c.677C &gt; T or<jats:italic>SLC19A1<\/jats:italic>c.80A &gt; G and heart defect risk was found. The influence of folate-related polymorphisms may be specific to certain types of heart defects; larger cohorts of mothers and children with distinct sub-classes are required to adequately address risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1047951112000431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,5]],"date-time":"2012-04-05T11:04:52Z","timestamp":1333623892000},"page":"89-98","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Risk
