Abstract excerpt
We have applied a GWAS to 40 consanguineous families segregating cases of non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NS CL/P) (a total of 160 affected and unaffected individuals) in order to trace potential recessive loci that confer susceptibility to this common facial malformation. Pedigree-based association test (PBAT) analyses reported nominal evidence of association and linkage over SNP markers...
