Genetic variants of 20q12 contributed to non-syndromic orofacial clefts susceptibility.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper selected 24 SNPs based on a haplotype-tagging SNP strategy and evaluated their associations with risk of non-syndromic orofacial clefts in a large scale two-stage case-control study with 1,278 cases and 1,295 controls.

Polymorphism of reduced folate carrier 1 (A80G) and non-syndromic cleft lip/palate: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: The results identified an association between the GG genotype and NSCL/P risk and just confirmed this association in the Caucasian ethnicity, suggesting that theGG genotype of RFC1 (A80 G) polymorphism can be related to NSCL /P risk in some ethnicities more than others.

Prevalence of Congenital Heart Diseases in Patients with Orofacial Clefts: A Systematic Review.

TL;DR: CHD is commonly found in a patient with OFC and echocardiography should be used to assess CHD in patients with OFCs, according to a systematically review of prevalence rates.

Environmental Risk Factors for Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and/or Cleft Palate in Xinjiang Province, China: A Multiethnic Study:

TL;DR: The results showed that maternal pesticide exposure, paternal smoking, and antibiotic drugs use together explain nearly 60% of the variation of occurrence of NSCL/P in offspring.

Holistic Communication Assessment for Young Children with Cleft Palate Using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: Children and Youth.

TL;DR: Speech-language pathologists can consider incorporating evaluation of all components and contextual factors of the ICF-CY when assessing and working with young children with CP±L to inform intervention and management practices.

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.

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.
