Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have reported multiple genetic risk loci for non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs) in many populations. However, the contribution of these loci to NSOFC in India, which comprises one-fifth of the global population, is completely lacking. Our aim was to replicate the association of the SNPs located on 1p22 chromosomal loci (rs540026, rs481931) and 20q11.2...
