Health professional communication and the diagnosis and care of infants born with cleft lip and palate in the U.K.

TL;DR: Analysis of the data revealed that a diagnosis of cleft lip and/or palate may not be handled sensitively by the non-specialist health professionals who are providing care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Postoperative Pain and Analgesia in Children Undergoing Palatal Surgery: A Retrospective Chart Review.

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that frequent pain monitoring, multimodal approach, and “round‐the‐clock” analgesics may be warranted in this vulnerable patient population.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Novel Van der Woude Syndrome-Causing IRF6 Variant Is Subject to Incomplete Non-sense-Mediated mRNA Decay Affecting the Phenotype of Keratinocytes.

TL;DR: Using VWS patient-derived keratinocytes, it is revealed that most of the mutated IRF6_VWS transcripts are subject to a non-sense-mediated mRNA decay mechanism, resulting in IRF 6 haploinsufficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictor(s) of Abnormal Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization Results in Patients With Cleft Lip and/or Palate.

TL;DR: This study demonstrated the diagnostic value of clinical aCGH testing in CL/P patients who present withDD/ID, dysmorphic features, other congenital anomalies, and/or family history of DD/ID.

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.
