Abstract excerpt
Human linkage and association studies suggest a gene(s) for nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) on chromosome 4q31-q32 at or near the platelet-derived growth factor-C (PDGF-C) locus. The mouse Pdgfc(-/-) knockout shows that PDGF-C is essential for palatogenesis. To evaluate the role of PDGF-C in human clefting, we performed sequence analysis and SNP genotyping using 1048 multiplex CL/P...
