INTRODUCTION: Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P), is one of the most common birth defects, but its aetiology is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the sequence changes of the Cleft Lip and Palate Transmembrane Protein 1 (CLPTM 1) and Poliovirus Receptor Related 1 (PVRL 1) genes in patients with non-syndromic complete clefts of lip, alveolus and palate and to correlate...
