Aim. To investigate the distribution frequency and evaluate the association of MTR gene polymorphic variants (Asp919Gly, rs1805087) in newborns with congenital malformations (CMs). Materials and Methods. The study included 113 newborns with CMs (main group), subdivided into three clinical subgroups: folate-dependent CMs (n=75), folate-independent CMs (n=21), and CMs associated with chromosomal abnormalities (n=17), as well as 110 healthy newborns (control group). Genotyping was performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results. The frequency of the minor Gly allele in the main group (35.84%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (21.36%). The most pronounced differences were observed in the subgroup with folate-dependent CMs, where the Gly allele frequency reached 40.67%, and the homozygous Gly/Gly genotype was detected in 21.33% of cases compared with 7.27% in the control group (χ²=7.8; p=0.01; OR=3.46; 95% CI: 1.45–8.26). Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium analysis demonstrated a significant deviation in the main group (χ²=5.03; p=0.028), with a deficiency of heterozygotes (D=−0.21). No significant associations between the MTR A2756G polymorphism and folate-independent CMs or CMs associated with chromosomal abnormalities were identified. The Gly/Gly genotype demonstrated high specificity (SP=0.93) and an area under the ROC curve (AUC=0.57) as a marker of folate-dependent CMs. Conclusion. The findings suggest that the MTR Asp919Gly polymorphism may serve as a potential molecular genetic marker of susceptibility to folate-dependent congenital malformations in newborns.
