Table 3.

Effect estimates (odds ratios) for spina bifida-affected pregnancies associated with maternal choline intake, CHKA SNP hCV1562388 (A>C), hCV1562393(C>G), PCYT1A SNPs rs939883 (T>A) and rs3772109 (T>C) genotypes. Breslow-Day test: P > 0.05. Lower 25%: total choline intake ≤ 289.93 mg/day. Higher 75 %: total choline intake > 513.24 mg/day.
