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.

Smoking cessation and pregnancy

TL;DR: The health consequences of smoking as it relates to pregnancy, the effects of stopping smoking at this time, the prevalence of smoking and smoking cessation in pregnancy and factors associated with these and the effectiveness of interventions aimed at tackling this problem are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal variation in birth date of children with cleft lip.

TL;DR: The data support the prediction that analyzing the data for the sexes separately would amplify the effects of variation in liability for a multifactorial threshold trait that has a different frequency in males and females, and could be useful in the study of other gene-environment interactions.
