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.

MSX1 mutation is associated with orofacial clefting and tooth agenesis in humans.

TL;DR: A Dutch family with tooth agenesis and various combinations of cleft palate only and cleft lip and clefts palate showed a nonsense mutation (Ser104stop) in exon 1 of MSX1 that is similar to that of the Msx1-mutant mouse.

Risks of orofacial clefts in children born to women using multivitamins containing folic acid periconceptionally

TL;DR: Women who used multivitamins containing folic acid periconceptionally had a 25-50% reduction in risk for offspring with orofacial clefts compared to women who did not use such vitamins.
