Delivering effective genetic services for patients and families affected by cleft lip and/or palate

TL;DR: Analysis of data collected from three focus groups and eleven individual interviews identified two overarching themes “Referring patients and families to genetic services” and “The role of a genetic specialist in the context of CL/P”.

Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate

TL;DR: The inheritance patterns of cleft lip and/or cleft palate are not classically Mendelian, but are characterized by the interaction of numerous genes, the influence of diverse environmental factors, and genetic heterogeneity within and between families and populations.

Prevalentie van schisis in Nederland en Noord-Nederland in 1997-2007

TL;DR: To investigate the prevalence of oral cleft live births in the Netherlands, time-trends were analyzed over the period 1997-2007 and stratified these trends by cleft category (cleft lip/alveolus ± cleft palate: CL±P;Cleft palate only: CP).

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.

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.
