Associated genes in folate pathway are major enzymes of folic acid metabolism that is crucial for preventing birth defects. The present meta-analysis aims to investigate the association between four SNPs in folate pathway genes and the risk of NSCL\/P.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods: Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was used to predict the functional pathogenicity of genetic variation. The PubMed, Embase database and Google Scholar were searched by two researchers. Stata 11.0 software was used to analyze the results. Subgroup analysis was carried out to assess the influence of genetic background. Sensitivity analysis, regression analysis and publication analysis were also conducted to enhance the strength of our results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: It is estimated that the probability of two missense mutation rs1801133 in MTHFR and rs1801394 in MTRR are more likely to be damaging by bioinformatics analysis. A significant association between rs1801133 and risk of NSCL\/P in two genetic models: TT genotype vs CC genotype (OR = 1.333 95%CI = 1.062\u20131.674, P = 0.013), and recessive model (OR = 1.325 95%CI = 1.075\u20131.634, P = 0.008). A significant protective association between rs1801394 GG genotype and NSCL\/P in Asian (GG vs AA, OR = 0.520 95%CI = 0.321\u20130.841, P = 0.008) was observed. Meta-regression, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias analysis confirmed that the results of the present study were statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: The present study identified that rs1801133 in MTHFR is associated with the risk of NSCL\/P, and rs1801394 GG genotype in MTRR play a protective role in Asian. Further, larger studies should be performed to confirm these findings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bsr20194261","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,3]],"date-time":"2020-03-03T07:29:18Z","timestamp":1583220558000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["SNPs in folate pathway are associated with the risk of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate, a meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Qiuyan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Medical Genetics, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Preservation of Human Genetic Resources and Disease Control in China (Harbin Medical University), Ministry of Education, China"},{"name":"Editorial Department of International Journal of Genetics, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lidan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Medical Genetics, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Preservation of Human Genetic Resources and Disease Control in China (Harbin Medical University), Ministry of Education, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xueyuan","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Medical Genetics, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Preservation of Human Genetic Resources and Disease Control in China (Harbin Medical University), Ministry of Education, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Komal","family":"Saleem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Medical Genetics, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Preservation of Human Genetic Resources and Disease Control in China (Harbin Medical University), Ministry of Education, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tahir","family":"Zaib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Medical Genetics, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Preservation of Human Genetic Resources and Disease Control in China (Harbin Medical University), Ministry of Education, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenjing","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Medical Genetics, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Preservation of Human Genetic Resources and Disease Control in China (Harbin Medical University), Ministry of Education, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0382-9888","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Songbin","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Medical Genetics, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Preservation of Human Genetic Resources and Disease Control in China (Harbin Medical University), Ministry of Education, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111620043808900_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"769","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa032909","article-title":"Interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6) gene variants and the risk of isolated cleft lip or palate","volume":"351","author":"Zucchero","year":"2004","journal-title":"N.
