Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in WNT genes with the risk of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate.

TL;DR: An association between WNT genes polymorphisms and the risk nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate in a sample of the southeast Iranian population is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is It Rare or Common

TL;DR: This paper uses single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data in a case‐control setting to predict how many common or rare variants there are, using a Bayesian analysis, to compute posterior probabilities for configurations of rare and/or common variants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pregnancy and neonatal outcome following an antenatal diagnosis of cleft lip and palate.

TL;DR: In cases of CL(P), there is a high incidence of associated anomalies detected on antenatal ultrasound and these significantly increase the risk of poor neonatal outcome.
Journal Article

An analysis of deformities in revision surgeries for secondary unilateral cleft lip.

TL;DR: Unfavorable scar followed by vermilion notch and short lip were the most common secondary cleft lip deformities and better technique helps favorable scar.

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.
