Abstract excerpt
Non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) is a congenital malformation with a prevalence of 1:700 births. It has a multifactorial etiology. Human craniofacial development takes place during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Normal craniofacial development arises from the convergence and fusion of the facial and palatal processes and involves interactions between genes that regulate cell growth, proliferation,...
