Uranium concentration in umbilical cord may increase the risk for orofacial clefts.

TL;DR: In utero exposure to high level of U was associated with increased risk of OFCs and its subtype CLP, and a dose-response relationship between the U concentration and the risk of total OFCs (P for trend = 0.009) and CLP was found.

Association study of single nucleotide polymorphisms of MAFB with non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate in a population in Heilongjiang Province, northern China

TL;DR: This study investigated 3 identified single nucleotide polymorphisms in MAFB and examined them for association with NSCLP in 344 patients and 324 healthy controls in a northern Chinese Han population with a high incidence of the syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rhinoplasty for cleft and hemangioma-related nasal deformities.

TL;DR: There are several new studies that compare different rhinoplasty techniques to determine which approaches offer superior surgical outcomes; however, there needs to be a greater acceptance of objective measurements when assessing surgical results to identify a uniform surgical protocol and technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

PAX7 nucleotide variants and the risk of non-syndromic orofacial clefts in the Polish population.

TL;DR: Analysis of the pooled data from the GWAS and replication study confirmed that common PAX7 nucleotide variants are significantly associated with the increased risk of nsCL/P and confirmed that PAX7 is a strong candidate gene for nsCl/P.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Challenge of 3D Bioprinting of Composite Natural Polymers PLA/Bioglass: Trends and Benefits in Cleft Palate Surgery

TL;DR: The use of bioactive glasses in the repair of cleft palate malformation is discussed in this paper, where the authors highlight the particularities of alveolar defects subsequent to facial clefts, and detail the characteristics of the materials and technologies used to elaborate 3D matrices by bioprinting.

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.
