TLDR
Prevention is the ultimate objective for clefts of the lip and palate, and a prerequisite of this aim is to elucidate causes of the disorders.

Cleft lip and palate: understanding genetic and environmental influences.

TL;DR: Using a combination of epidemiology, careful phenotyping, genome-wide association studies and analysis of animal models, several distinct genetic and environmental risk factors have been identified and confirmed for non-syndromic CLP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide Association Studies Prospects and Challenges for Oral Health

TL;DR: The issues surrounding the genome-wide association study approach are discussed with emphasis on the prospects and challenges relevant to the oral health research community.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association study of cleft lip with and without cleft palate identifies risk variants near MAFB and ABCA4

TL;DR: In this paper, case-parent trios were used in a genome-wide association study of cleft lip with and without cleft palate, and two previously identified regions (at chromosome 8q24 and IRF6) attained genomewide significance.
Book ChapterDOI

Epidemiology of oral clefts 2012: an international perspective.

TL;DR: This chapter is set out in three parts and seeks to address all three of the above areas: Birth defects in general and orofacial clefting in particular, access to care and evidence base.

Journal Article

A study of fluctuating dermatoglyphic asymmetry in the sibs and parents of cleft lip propositi.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that familial and sporadic cases of congenital cleft lip are different entities is supported and evidence for a genetic mechanism in the parents and sibs of the familial cases that may account for this congenital disorder and, concomitantly, increased fluctuating asymmetry is given.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bulging medial edge epithelial cells and palatal fusion.

TL;DR: The expression pattern of E-Cadherin, beta-catenin, chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan,beta-Actin and vinculin as assayed by immunocytochemistry in these cells shows specific variations that suggest their importance in palatal shelf adhesion.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new reliable method for alveolar bone grafting at about 6 years of age.

TL;DR: When the timing of alveolar bone grafting is based on the eruptive progress of the permanent maxillary canine tooth, the surgical procedure is, by definition, delayed until the late mixed dentition phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infant TGF-alpha genotype, orofacial clefts, and maternal periconceptional multivitamin use.

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence is provided for a gene-nutrient interaction in risk of clefting among infants with uncommon TGFa genotypes and whose mothers did not use multivitamins periconceptionally.
Journal ArticleDOI

Agricultural chemical use and congenital cleft lip and/or palate.

TL;DR: The results imply that if exposures to agricultural chemicals are, in fact, risk factors for clefts, an expanded model that accounts for multiple pesticidal exposures may be more sensitive than consideration of season of exposure, as originally hypothesized.
