BACKGROUND: Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (nsCL/P) is a common birth defect results from the genetic factors alone or interactions with environmental changes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CRISPLD2 gene have been found to be an etiologic factor in the development of nsCL/P. However, few studies to date focused on the association of genetic variation of CRISPLD2 gene with nsCL/P,...
