Craniofacial shape and dimensions as indicators of orofacial clefting and palatal form : a study on cleft lip and palate and Turner syndrome families

TL;DR: The present results support the concept that maternal factors contribute to the degree of deficiency in the growth of the cranial base and to the magnitude of mandibular retrognathism of their daughters with TS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental Factors in the First Trimester and Risk of Oral-Facial Clefts in the Offspring

TL;DR: The results suggested that the interaction between sunshine and nitrogen oxides with other factors results in the reported seasonal variation in the incidence of isolated oral-facial clefts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delayed primary palatal closure in resource-poor countries: Speech results in Ugandan older children and young adults with cleft (lip and) palate.

TL;DR: Delayed palatal repair (≥8years) seems to be insufficient to eliminate nasal airflow errors, resonance abnormalities, and articulation disorders and speech therapy following delayed palatal closure would be beneficial.

Association of WNT Pathway Genes With Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip With or Without Cleft Palate.

TL;DR: This study shows for the first time the association between GSK3B and NSCL±P and confirms the role of additional WNT pathway genes as candidates for NSCL¬P.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison between combined cortical and cancellous bone graft and cancellous bone graft in alveolar cleft: Retrospective study of complications during the first six months post-surgery

TL;DR: This preliminary study shows that adding a cortical bone graft for the nasal floor reconstruction does not increase the risk of complications in 6 months following the graft.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
