Abstract excerpt
MSX1 is a favorable candidate gene for susceptibility to non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOCs). However, the roles of MSX1 genetic variants in the development of NSOC are controversial and vary among human populations. In the present study, the roles of 4 potentially functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MSX1 (rs12532 in 3'-untranslated region [UTR], and rs3821947, rs3821949, and rs4464513 in 5'...
