Genetics of Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate: Perspectives in Surgery Management and Outcome

TL;DR: Understanding the etiology of CLP is of utmost importance, as it may lead to the development or improvement of preventive and therapeutic strategies.

The effects of IRF6 rs2235373 polymorphism on mRNA expression changes in non-syndromic cleft lip and palate with various phenotypes

TL;DR: The IRF6 rs2235373 polymorphism of TT genotype tends to cause mRNA overexpression in NS CU CLP, and CT genotype tend to cause RNA underexpression on mRNA expression changes in NS CB CLP.

Repair of cleft palate by rotation–transposition of the two mucoperiosteal flaps: can this reduce the incidence of postoperative fistula?

TL;DR: The modified technique to rotate one of the mucoperiosteal flaps backward to fill the midline gap at the point of maximum tension to be recommended as an alternative to the standard von Langenbeck cleft palate repair especially with wide Cleft palate or when there is much tension when suturing the oral mucosa.

Epidemiology of choanal atresia - the National Birth Defects Prevention Study

TL;DR: Overall, case infants compared to control infants were more likely to be female, preterm, and a multiple birth, and odds of high maternal zinc and vitamin B-12 intake and maternal periconceptional exposure to passive cigarette smoke were significantly elevated.

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.

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.
