Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Cleft palate is a frequent congenital craniofacial malformation of unknown etiology. Transforming growth factor (TGF) β3 is required for palatal shelf fusion. Although TGFβ3 knockout (KO) mice are widely used mouse models for cleft palate, cleft palate phenotypes differ among these mice. This study aimed to determine the effects of genetic background on the cleft palate phenotype in mice. METHODS: We...
