Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: MicroRNA (miRNA) processing genes play important roles in the craniofacial development. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of miRNA processing genes with the risk of non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC). METHODS: We genotyped 12 potentially functional SNPs from seven miRNA processing genes (GEMIN3, DROSHA, DGCR8, GEMIN4, PIWIL1, XPO5,...
