Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is among the most common congenital malformations. The etiology of NSCL/P remains poorly characterized owing to its complex genetic heterogeneity. The objective of this study was to identify genetic variants that increase susceptibility to NSCL/P. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed in 8 fetuses with NSCL/P in...
