Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: FOXE1 plays an important role in craniofacial development. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between genetic variants of FOXE1 and risk of non-syndromic orofacial clefts in a Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three potentially functional SNPs of FOXE1 (rs3758250 and rs907577 in the 5' upstream and rs7043516 in the 3'-UTR) were selected and their associations with...
