Genetics of cleft lip and cleft palate.

TL;DR: Orofacial clefts are common birth defects and can occur as isolated, nonsyndromic events or as part of Mendelian syndromes, and identification of these genes and loci has been the result of decades of research using multiple genetic approaches.

Sleep and its importance in adolescence and in common adolescent somatic and psychiatric conditions.

TL;DR: It is concluded that poor or altered sleep in adolescent patients may trigger and maintain many psychiatric and physical disorders or combinations of these conditions, which presumably hinder recovery and may cross into later stages of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetics of Nonsyndromic Orofacial Clefts

TL;DR: The main aim is to bring together a discussion of new and previously identified candidate genes to create a more cohesive picture of interacting pathways that shape the human craniofacial region.

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.
