Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) is a complex disease associated with both genetic and environmental factors. One strategy for identifying of possible NSCL/P genetic causes is to evaluate polymorphic variants in genes involved in the craniofacial development. DESIGN: We carried out a case-control analysis of 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms in 9 genes related to...
