Maternal arsenic exposure and nonsyndromic orofacial clefts

TL;DR: Results should be interpreted cautiously, and continued research using improved exposure assessment methodologies is recommended, but the need for a comprehensive examination of major sources of arsenic exposure and OFCs in humans is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Site-specific expression of gelatinolytic activity during morphogenesis of the secondary palate in the mouse embryo.

TL;DR: This is the first report showing that gelatinases might contribute to tissue remodeling during early stages of palatal shelf elevation and formation of the nasopharynx in mammalian embryos.
Journal ArticleDOI

A practical prenatal ultrasound classification system for common oral clefts

TL;DR: The aim is to introduce and validate a new oral cleft classification system based on prenatal ultrasound for use by professionals in daily practice.

Global Burden of Orofacial Clefts and the World Surgical Workforce

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimated the prevalence and disease burden of orofacial clefting from 1990 to 2017 in 195 countries using the Global Burden of Disease methodology and found that this burden falls disproportionately on the countries with the smallest surgical workforce or lowest Socio-Demographic Index, rather than those with the highest prevalence of disease.

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.
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.
