lüll Cleft lip and palate: understanding genetic and environmental influences Dixon MJ; Marazita ML; Beaty TH; Murray JCNat Rev Genet 2011[Mar]; 12 (3): 167-78Clefts of the lip and/or palate (CLP) are common birth defects of complex aetiology. CLP can occur in isolation or as part of a broad range of chromosomal, Mendelian or teratogenic syndromes. Although there has been marked progress in identifying genetic and environmental triggers for syndromic CLP, the aetiology of the more common non-syndromic (isolated) forms remains poorly characterized. Recently, 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. These findings have advanced our understanding of developmental biology and created new opportunities for clinical translational research.|Animals[MESH]|Cleft Lip/epidemiology/etiology/*genetics[MESH]|Cleft Palate/epidemiology/etiology/*genetics[MESH]|Environment[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Gene Expression Regulation[MESH]|Genome-Wide Association Study[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Mice[MESH]|Mutation[MESH] |
