To investigate whether women with congenital heart defect (CHD)-affected pregnancies were more likely to have functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding enzymes in folate-dependent pathways. A population-based case-control study of 572 women with CHD-affected pregnancies and 363 control women was conducted. DNA samples were genotyped for SNPs in three genes encoding for folate pathway enzymes. Maternal lifestyle factor information was obtained using standardized interviews. Case women were 1.5 times more likely to be obese (BMI of 30 or higher) compared to control women. Obese women carrying the MTHFR TT genotype were 4.6 times more likely to have an affected pregnancy compared to normal weight women carrying a CC genotype. Obese women carrying one or two copies of the A allele in the BHMT polymorphism were 1.8 times more likely to have a CHD-affected pregnancy than normal weight women carrying a BHMT GG genotype. Among women who smoked, those carrying a TCII CG or GG genotype were 1.8 times more likely to have an affected fetus than women who smoked and carried a CC genotype. Among women who drank alcohol, those carrying a TCII CG or GG genotype were 1.7 times more likely to have an affected fetus than women who drank and carried a CC genotype. Results indicate that functional polymorphisms in folate-related genes increase the risk of having a fetus with CHD when maternal lifestyle factors that alter folate metabolism are present.
