Association between the transforming growth factor alpha gene and nonsyndromic oral clefts: a HuGE review.

American journal of epidemiology - 1 May 2006

Vieira Alexandre R

Abstract excerpt

Transforming growth factor alpha (TGFA) is a well-characterized mammalian growth factor. Since the first report of an association between DNA sequence variants at the TGFA genetic locus and nonsyndromic oral clefts, 47 studies have been carried out, producing conflicting results. In this review, the author synthesizes findings from published reports on the association between the TGFA gene and clefting in humans....
