Mutation analysis of the PVRL1 gene in caucasians with nonsyndromic cleft lip/palate.

Abstract excerpt

Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (nsCL/P, MIM 119530) is perhaps the most common major birth defect. Homozygous PVRL1 loss-of-function mutations result in an autosomal recessive CL/P syndrome, CLPED1, and a PVRL1 nonsense mutation is associated with sporadic nsCL/P in Northern Venezuela. To address the more general role of PVRL1 variation in risk of nsCL/P, we carried out mutation analysis of...
