Objective A meta-analysis was performed to examine the association among maternal cigarette smoking, infant genotype at the Taq1 site in the transforming growth factor α (TGFA) locus, and risk of nonsyndromic oral clefts, both cleft palate (CP) and cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P). Design Five published case-control studies were included in the meta-analyis. Pooled Mantel-Haenszel odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed. Gene-environment interaction was also assessed by using the pooled data in a case-only analysis and polytomous logistic regression. Results Among nonsmoking mothers, there was no evidence of any increased risk for CP if the infant carried the TGFA Taq1 C2 allele. If the mother reported smoking, however, there was an overall increased risk for CP if the infant carried the C2 allele (ORsmokers = 1.95; 95% CI = 1.22 to 3.10). TGFA genotype did not increase risk to CL/P, regardless of maternal smoking status. Polytomous logistic regression revealed a significant overall smoking effect for CL/P (OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.33 to 2.02) and CP (OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.06 to 1.90). Conclusions While maternal smoking was a consistent risk factor for both CL/P and CP across all studies, the suggestive evidence for gene-environment interaction between the infant's genotype at the Taq1 marker in TGFA and maternal smoking was limited to CP. Furthermore, evidence for such gene-environment interaction was strongest in a case-control study drawn from a birth defect registry where infants with non-cleft defects served as controls.

Abstract Background: Fatty liver disease (FLD) is a serious public health problem that is rapidly increasing. Evidences indicated that the transcription factor EB (TFEB) gene may be involved in the pathophysiology of FLD; however, whether TEFB polymorphism is association with FLD remains unclear.Objectives: To explore the association among TFEB polymorphism, gene–environment interaction, and FLD and provide epidemiological evidence for clarifying the genetic factors of FLD.Methods: This study is a case–control study. Sequenom MassARRAY was applied in genotyping. Logical regression was used to analyze the association between TFEB polymorphism and FLD, and the gene–environment interaction in FLD was evaluated by multiplication and additive interaction models.Results: (1) The alleles and genotypes of each single nucleotide polymorphism of TFEB in the case and control groups were evenly distributed; no statistically substantial difference was observed. (2) Logistic regression analysis indicated that TFEB polymorphism is not remarkably associated with FLD. (3) In the multiplicative interaction model, rs1015149, rs1062966, and rs11754668 had remarkable interaction with smoking amount. Rs1062966 and rs11754668 also had a considerable interaction with body mass index and alcohol intake, respectively. However, no remarkable additive interaction was observed.Conclusion: TFEB polymorphism is not directly associated with FLD susceptibility, but the risk can be changed through gene–environment interaction.
