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.

Association between folic acid food fortification and congenital orofacial clefts

TL;DR: By January 1998, most of Canada's cereal grain products were being fortified with folic acid, and the prevalence of orofacial clefts did not change among antenatal maternal serum screening women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma zinc concentrations of mothers and the risk of nonsyndromic oral clefts in their children: a case-control study in the Philippines.

TL;DR: Low plasma zinc concentrations were common in Filipino women of reproductive age, and higher plasmaZinc concentrations were associated with a lower risk for oral clefts in their children.
Journal ArticleDOI

The contribution of maternal epilepsy and its treatment to the etiology of oral clefts: a population based case-control study.

TL;DR: In this well‐defined population, maternal epilepsy and its treatment account for a small proportion of nonsyndromic oral clefts, and the use of polytherapy was associated with the highest risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal drug histories and congenital malformations: limb reduction defects and oral clefts.

TL;DR: A significant association was demonstrated between oral contraceptives taken in the three months before the last menstrual period and oral cleft, but doubt must remain concerning this relationship; the risk is not well understood and is likely to be nonspecific.
Journal ArticleDOI

A three generation family study of cleft lip with or without cleft palate.

TL;DR: A family study of cleft lip, with or without cleft palate, was based on those treated by operation at The Hospital for Sick Children, London, between 1920 and 1939 to give information on the proportion affected of children and grandchildren.
