Based on a previous linkage signal of nonsyndromic CL/P (NSCL/P) on the chromosomal region 4q31-q32 from the Chinese populations, we screened the 4q31-q32 region for susceptibility genes in 214 trios of Han Chinese. PDGF-C, an important developmental factor, resides in the region and has been implicated...
