Abstract
The causal role of maternal nutrition in orofacial clefts is uncertain. We tested hypotheses that low maternal vitamin B12 and low folate status are each associated with an increased risk of isolated cleft lip, with or without cleft palate, (CL+P) in a case-control study in Tamil Nadu state, India.
