Association between PTCH1 and RAD54B single-nucleotide polymorphisms and non-syndromic orofacial clefts in a northern Chinese population.

TL;DR: Investigation of the association of six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with non‐syndromic orofacial clefts in a Northern Chinese population found one of the most common congenital malformations involves both genetic and environmental factors.

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.
