Evidence-Based Medicine: The Bilateral Cleft Lip Repair

TL;DR: This fourth Maintenance of Certification/Continuing Medical Education article on cleftlip focuses on the topic of bilateral cleft lip and describes the importance of preoperative management and surgical repair of the bilateral Cleft lip.

Association between concentrations of barium and aluminum in placental tissues and risk for orofacial clefts

TL;DR: Maternal exposure to barium may increase the risk for OFCs in offspring, and there was a positive dose-response relationship between placental barium concentrations and OFC risk.

Regional variation in prevalence of oral cleft live births in the Netherlands 1997-2007: time-trend analysis of data from three Dutch registries.

TL;DR: The prevalence of OC live births varies significantly in the Netherlands, not only between but also within registries, which underlines that extrapolation of regional cleft data should be done with caution.

Impact of rare variants in ARHGAP29 to the etiology of oral clefts: role of loss-of-function vs missense variants.

TL;DR: The data show that rare variants leading to haploinsufficiency of ARHGAP29 represent an important etiological clefting mechanism, and genetic testing for this gene might be taken into consideration in genetic counseling of familial cases.

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.
