Abstract excerpt
Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a relatively common congenital malformation. The etiology is complex and postulated to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The genetic loci for nonsyndromic CLP remain poorly characterized. Two families have recently been reported with a chromosome 17p13.3 microduplication and CLP. We report a third family with four individuals affected by nonsyndromic bilateral...
