Abstract excerpt
The wingless-type MMTV integration site family (Wnt) signalling pathway plays a crucial role in craniofacial development. Recently, nucleotide variants in WNT genes have been shown to be associated with oral congenital anomalies, including facial clefts. Therefore, in the current study we decided to assay the association of nucleotide variants in selected WNT genes with the risk of non-syndromic cleft lip with or...
