Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of the IRF6 mutations in Polish families with Van der Woude syndrome and popliteal pterygium syndrome and to determine the effect of IRF6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs7552506, rs2013162, and rs2235375) on cleft lip and/or palate susceptibility. DESIGN: IRF6 mutation screening was performed by direct sequencing of all coding exons of the gene and their flanking intronic...
