      Zika virus (ZIKV) causes Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS) in individuals exposed prenatally. Here, we investigated polymorphisms in VEGFA, PTGS2, NOS3, TNF, and NOS2 genes as risk factors to CZS. Forty children with CZS and ...
    • Genetic susceptibility to drug teratogenicity: a systematic literature review 

      Gomes, Julia do Amaral; Olstad, Emilie Willoch; Kowalski, Thayne Woycinck; Gervin, Kristina; Vianna, Fernanda Sales Luiz; Faccini, Lavinia Schuler; Nordeng, Hedvig Marie Egeland (2021) [Artigo de periódico]
      Since the 1960s, drugs have been known to cause teratogenic effects in humans. Such teratogenicity has been postulated to be influenced by genetics. The aim of this review was to provide an overview of the current knowledge ...
