Maternal tea consumption was reported to increase the risk of fetal neural tube defects (NTDs). Catechol‐O‐methyltransferase (COMT) may be involved in the metabolism of polyphenolic methylation of tea, thus influence the risk of fetal NTDs. Methods: A total of 576 fetuses or newborns with NTDs and 594 healthy newborns were included in the case–control study. Information on maternal tea consumption, sociodemographic characteristics, reproductive history, and related behavior was collected through face‐to‐face interviews. Maternal blood samples were collected to examine polymorphisms in COMT, and the possible interaction of COMT and tea consumption was analyzed. RESULTS: After controlling for potential confounders, homozygotes of rs737865 showed an elevated risk for total NTDs (odds ratio [OR] = 2.04, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24–3.35) and for the anencephaly subtype (OR = 1.99, 95% CI, 1.17–3.39). The CC genotype of rs4633 was positively associated with the overall risk of NTDs (OR = 3.66, 95% CI, 1.05–12.83). Heterozygotes for rs4680 were associated with a decreased risk of spina bifida (OR = 0.71, 95% CI, 0.51–0.98). The COMT rs4680 A allele was negatively related with the risk of spina bifida, with adjusted OR = 0.64 (95% CI, 0.45–0.89). An interaction between tea consumption (1 to 2 cups/day) and the rs4680AA/AG genotype was found in the spina bifida subtype (Pinteraction = .08). Conclusion: Several COMT variants were associated with elevated risk of NTDs in a Chinese population. Maternal tea consumption may be associated with an increased risk for fetal NTDs in genetically susceptible subgroups.

BACKGROUND: Neural tube defects (NTD)s, which occur when the neural tube fails to close during early gestation, are some of the most common birth defects worldwide. Alcohol is a known teratogen and has been shown to induce NTDs in animal studies, although most human studies have failed to corroborate these results. Using data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, associations between maternal reports of periconceptional (1 month prior through 2 months postconception) alcohol consumption and NTDs were examined. METHODS: NTD cases and unaffected live born control infants, delivered from 1997 through 2005, were included. Interview reports of alcohol consumption (quantity, frequency, variability, and type) were obtained from 1223 case mothers and 6807 control mothers. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR)s and 95% confidence intervals were estimated using multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: For all NTDs combined, most aORs for any alcohol consumption, one or more binge episodes, and different type(s) of alcohol consumed were near unity or modestly reduced (≥0.7<aOR≤1.1) and were not statistically significant. Findings were similar for individual NTD subtypes. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest no elevated association between maternal periconceptional alcohol consumption and NTDs. Underreporting of alcohol consumption, due to negative social stigma associated with alcohol consumption during pregnancy, and limited reports for mothers with early pregnancy loss of a fetus with an NTD may have affected the estimated odds ratios. Future studies should aim to increase sample sizes for less prevalent subtypes, reduce exposure misclassification, and improve ascertainment offetal deaths and elective terminations.

Tryptophan catabolites pathway disorders are observed in patients with depression. Moreover, single nucleotide polymorphisms of tryptophan hydroxylase genes may modulate the risk of depression occurrence. The objective of our study was to confirm the association between the presence of polymorphic variants of TPH1 and TPH2 genes, and the development of depressive disorders. Six polymorphisms were selected: c.804‐7C>A (rs10488682), c.‐1668T>A (rs623580), c.803+221C>A (rs1800532), c.‐173A>T (rs1799913)—TPH1, c.‐1449C>A (rs7963803), and c.‐844G>T (rs4570625)—TPH2. A total of 510 DNA samples (230 controls and 280 patients) were genotyped using TaqMan probes. Among the studied polymoorphisms, the G/G genotype and G allele of c.804‐7C>A—TPH1, the T/T homozygote of c.803+221C>A—TPH1, the A/A genotype and A allele of c.1668T>A—TPH1, the G/G homozygote and G allele of c.‐844G>T—TPH2, and the C/A heterozygote and A allele of c.‐1449C>A—TPH2 were associated with the occurrence of depression. However, the T/T homozygote of c.‐1668T>A—TPH1, the G/T heterozygote and T allele of c.‐844G>T—TPH2, and the C/C homozygote and C allele of c.‐1449C>A—TPH2 decreased the risk of development of depressive disorders . Each of the studied polymorphisms modulated the risk of depression for selected genotypes and alleles. These results support the hypothesis regarding the involvement of the pathway in the pathogenesis of depression. 相似文献

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are among the most common and severe congenital malformations. To examine the association between markers of macromolecular oxidative damage and risk of NTDs, we measured levels of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), protein carbonyl (PC), and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α) in maternal serum samples of 117 women with NTD-affected pregnancies and 121 women with healthy term newborns. We found higher levels of 8-OHdG and PC in the NTD group than in the control group; however, we did not observe a statistically significant difference in 8-iso-PGF2α levels between the NTD and the control groups. NTD risk increased with increasing quartiles of 8-OHdG [odds ratio (OR)=1.17; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.39–3.51; OR=2.19; 95% CI, 0.68–7.01; OR=3.70; 95% CI, 1.30–10.51, for the second, third, and fourth quartile relative to the lowest quartile, respectively; P=0.009], and with increasing quartiles of PC (OR=2.26; 95% CI, 0.66–7.69; OR=3.86; 95% CI, 1.17–12.80; OR=5.98; 95% CI, 1.82–19.66, for the second, third, and fourth quartile relative to the lowest quartile, respectively; P=0.002]. Serum levels of 8-OHdG were higher in women who did not take folic acid supplements during the periconceptional period. These results suggest that oxidative stress is present in women carrying pregnancies affected by NTDs. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Valproic acid (VPA) causes the failure of neural tube closure in newborn mice. However, the molecular mechanism of its teratogenesis is unknown. This study was conducted to investigate the genomewide effects of VPA disruption of normal neural tube development in mice. METHODS: Microarray analysis was performed on the head part of NMRI mouse embryos treated for 1 hr with VPA on gestational day (GD) 8. Subsequently, we attempted to isolate genes that changed in correlation with the teratogenic action of VPA by employing reduced teratogenic VPA analogs, valpromide (VPD) and valnoctamide (VCD), in a real-time PCR study. RESULTS: Microarray results demonstrated that during neurulation, many genes, some of whose functions are known and some unknown, were either increased or decreased after VPA injection. Some genes were affected by VPD or VCD in the same way as VPA, but others were not changed by the analogs. In this way, our system identified 11 increased and 20 decreased genes. Annotation analysis revealed that the increased genes included gadd45b, ier5, per1, phfl3, pou3f1, and sox4, and the decreased genes included ccne2, ccnl, gas5, egr2, sirt1, and zfp105. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that expression changes in genes having roles in the cell cycle and apoptosis pathways of neural tube cells were strongly expected to relate to the teratogenic, but not antiepileptic, activity of VPA. Our approach has allowed the expansion of the catalog of molecules immediately affected by VPA in the developing neural tube. 相似文献

Background
Methionine synthase (MTR) and methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) genes have been considered to be implicated in the development of neural tube defects (NTDs). However, the results are inconsistent. Accordingly, we conducted a meta-analysis to further investigate such an association.Methods
Published literature from PubMed and Embase databases was retrieved. All studies evaluating the association between MTR A2756G or MTRR A66G polymorphism and maternal risk for NTDs were included. Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using the fixed- or random-effects model.Results
A total of 11 studies (1005 cases and 2098 controls) on MTR A2756G polymorphism and 10 studies (1211 cases and 2003 controls) on MTRR A66G polymorphism were included. Overall, this meta-analysis revealed no significant association between maternal MTR A2756G polymorphism and NTD susceptibility in either genetic model. A significant association between MTRR A66G polymorphism and maternal risk for NTDs was observed for GG vs. AA (OR = 1.31, 95% CI 1.03–1.67) among Caucasians.Conclusion
The present meta-analysis indicated that MTRR A66G polymorphism, but not MTR A2756G, is significantly associated with maternal risk for NTDs in Caucasians. 相似文献18.

We describe 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a commercially important bivalve, the weathervane scallop (Patinopecten caurinus), identified using a targeted‐gene approach. We further characterize 12 of these using 5′‐nuclease and allele‐specific PCR assays. Polymorphisms were identified in both mitochondrial and nuclear genes. These are the first SNPs developed for delineating population structure in the weathervane scallop and will provide a useful complement to currently available genetic markers. 相似文献

We identified ~13 000 putative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by comparison of repeat‐masked BAC‐end sequences from the cattle RPCI‐42 BAC library with whole‐genome shotgun contigs of cattle genome assembly Btau 1.0. Genotyping of a subset of these SNPs was performed on a panel containing 186 DNA samples from 18 cattle breeds including 43 trios. Of 1039 SNPs confirmed as polymorphic in the panel, 998 had minor allele frequency ≥0.25 among unrelated individuals of at least one breed. When Btau 4.0 became available, 974 of these validated SNPs were assigned in silico to known cattle chromosomes, while 41 SNPs were mapped to unassigned sequence scaffolds, yielding one SNP every ~3 Mbp on average. Twenty‐four SNPs identified in Btau 1.0 were not mapped to Btau 4.0. Of the 1015 SNPs mapped to Btau 4.0, 959 SNPs had nucleotide bases identical in Btau 4.0 and Btau 1.0 contigs, whereas 56 bases were changed, resulting in the loss of the in silico SNP in Btau 4.0. Because these 1039 SNPs were all directly confirmed by genotyping on the multi‐breed panel, it is likely that the original polymorphisms were correctly identified. The 1039 validated SNPs identified in this study represent a new and useful resource for genome‐wide association studies and applications in animal breeding. 相似文献
