Abstract excerpt
microRNAs (miRNAs) are widely involved in craniofacial development, and genetic variants of miRNAs may be associated with the risk of nonsyndromic orofacial cleft (NSOC). Here, we systematically selected five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of miRNAs and investigated the associations between these variants and NSOC susceptibility in a two-stage case-control study including 1,406 NSOC patients and 1,578...
