Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (nsCL±P) and nonsyndromic cleft palate (nsCP) are caused by a combination of genetic and environmental risk factors. We investigated gene-environment and gene-gene joint effects in a large multicenter study of case-parent triads. METHODS: The nsCL±P or nsCP triads were recruited in 11 European countries between 2001 and 2005. We collected DNA samples...
