Chromosomal microarray analysis in the prenatal diagnosis of orofacial clefts: Experience from a single medical center in mainland China.

TL;DR: CMA is a valuable tool for identifying submicroscopic chromosome abnormalities in the prenatal diagnosis of oral clefts and an excellent outcome can be expected for fetuses with isolated CL that are negative for chromosomal abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is folic acid a risk factor for oral clefts

TL;DR: A higher risk for clefts, mainly cleft lip/alveolus in the children after maternal folic acid use during early pregnancy, is reported—beyond the previous dilemma: effect or no effect of folic Acid for the prevention of oral clefts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term effects of oral clefts on health care utilization: a sibling comparison

TL;DR: It is found that children with oral clefts use more health services than their unaffected siblings in adulthood, and the effects are driven primarily by congenital malformation-related hospitalizations and intake of anti-infectives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preferential recruitment of bone marrow-derived cells to rat palatal wounds but not to skin wounds.

TL;DR: The results indicate that bone marrow-derived cells are preferentially recruited to wounded oral mucosa but not to wounded skin, which might be related to the larger healing potential of Oral mucosa.
Journal Article

Comparison of the Pharyngeal Airway Volume between Non-Syndromic Unilateral Cleft Palate and Normal Individuals Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

TL;DR: 3D analysis showed that the nasal and total airway was restricted in individuals with cleft palate but the inferiorAirway was not compromised in these individuals, which would be a crucial data to be considered for surgeons during surgical planning.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
