Abstract excerpt
X-linked cleft palate (CPX) is a rare nonsyndromic form of orofacial clefting that is, unlike more common forms, inherited as a highly penetrant Mendelian trait. Linkage studies using a large Icelandic kindred localized the gene to Xq21.3, and a physical map defining a 2.0-Mb candidate region was subsequently constructed. Genomic sequence is now available for much of the critical region and has been surveyed for...
