Family-based study of association between MAFB gene polymorphisms and NSCL/P among Western Han Chinese population

TL;DR: This study confirmed that the targeted SNPs at MAFB were associated with NSCL/P trios from Western Han Chinese population, which provides more scientific evidence for the future research and genetic counseling.
Journal ArticleDOI

No evidence of association between 8q24 and susceptibility to nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without palate in Japanese population.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the 8q24.21 locus is not associated with susceptibility to NSCL±P in Japanese patients and provide further evidence that ethnicity is a strong factor in determining susceptibility loci, albeit using a limited number of samples.

A Psychologic Assessment of the Parents of Patients With Cleft Lip and Palate

TL;DR: Analysis revealed severe to extremely severe depressed state of mind and moderate to severe levels of stress in maximum parents (above 20%) of group B, however, approximately 50% parents of group A showed extremely severe anxiety.

Furlow technique for treatment of soft palate fistula.

TL;DR: Treatment of soft palate fistula by using Furlow technique is an effective method as a primary treatment with a high success rate and a good functional outcome.

Genetic of Non syndromic Cleft Lip and Palate

TL;DR: The genetic basis of CL/P is still controversial because of genetic complexity of clefting, but advances in genetics and molecular biology have begun to reveal the basis of craniofacial development.

Retinoic Acid Embryopathy

TL;DR: It is possible that a major mechanism of isotretinoin teratogenesis is a deleterious effect on cephalic neural-crest cell activity that results in the observed craniofacial, cardiac, and thymic malformations.

Apaf1 (CED-4 homolog) regulates programmed cell death in mammalian development.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Apaf1 is essential for Casp3 activation in embryonic brain and is a key regulator of developmental programmed cell death in mammals.

Clinical manifestations in 105 persons with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.

TL;DR: The frequency of the clinical and radiological anomalies in Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome in a large population of US patients is delineated and guidelines for diagnosis and management are discussed.

Transforming growth factor-β3 is required for secondary palate fusion

TL;DR: This result demonstrates that TGF–β3 affects palatal shelf fusion by an intrinsic, primary mechanism rather than by effects secondary to craniofacial defects.
