Abstract excerpt
Small ubiquitin-like modifier 1 (SUMO1) has been shown to be associated with cleft lip and palate in animal models. However, rarely studies have linked SUMO1 to nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate in humans. The purpose of this study was to confirm the contribution of SUMO1 to nonsyndromic orofacial clefts in western Han Chinese. Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms were investigated in 246 case...
