Cleft lip and palate

Peter A. Mossey, +4 more
- 21 Nov 2009 - 
TL;DR: Prevention is the ultimate objective for clefts of the lip and palate, and a prerequisite of this aim is to elucidate causes of the disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare coding variants in PLCG2, ABI3, and TREM2 implicate microglial-mediated innate immunity in Alzheimer's disease

Rebecca Sims, +487 more
- 01 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: Three new genome-wide significant nonsynonymous variants associated with Alzheimer's disease are observed, providing additional evidence that the microglia-mediated innate immune response contributes directly to the development of Alzheimer's Disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association study of cleft lip with and without cleft palate identifies risk variants near MAFB and ABCA4

Terri H. Beaty, +55 more
- 01 Jun 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, case-parent trios were used in a genome-wide association study of cleft lip with and without cleft palate, and two previously identified regions (at chromosome 8q24 and IRF6) attained genomewide significance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare coding variants in the phospholipase D3 gene confer risk for Alzheimer’s disease

Carlos Cruchaga, +79 more
- 23 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: The genetic and functional data indicate that carriers of PLD3 coding variants have a twofold increased risk for LOAD and thatPLD3 influences APP processing, and provides an example of how densely affected families may help to identify rare variants with large effects on risk for disease or other complex traits.

A genome-wide association study of cleft lip with and without cleft palate identifies risk variants near MAFB and ABCA4

Terri H. Beaty, +51 more
TL;DR: Replication studies from several populations showed confirming evidence, with families of European ancestry giving strong evidence for markers in 8q24, whereas Asian families showed stronger evidence for association with MAFB and ABCA4, and expression studies support a role for MAFBs in palatal development.
