Relation between the concentration of zinc in maternal whole blood and the risk of an infant being born with an orofacial cleft
چکیده انگلیسی

We investigated the relation between concentrations of maternal zinc and copper and the risk of an infant being born with an orofacial cleft. We did a case–control study using 116 mothers of children with isolated cleft lip with or without cleft palate (cleft group), and 64 mothers of unaffected children (control group). Mothers with a whole blood zinc concentration of 47.1 μmol/L or less had a risk 2.5 times higher of having a child with an orofacial cleft than those with a higher concentration (or level) (95% CI 1.03–6.23; p < 0.05). A low zinc concentration combined with a high copper concentration was seen only in the cleft group. This evidence suggests an association between concentrations of maternal zinc and the risk of orofacial clefts in offspring.
