Abstract excerpt
Objectives: Nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs) are the most common craniofacial malformations observed across the globe. They are classified into three types: (a) cleft palate, (b) cleft lip, and (c) cleft lip and palate. To identify the potential candidate genes contributing to polygenic diseases such as NSOFC, linkage analyses, genome-wide association studies, and genomic rearrangements can be used. Genomic...
