BACKGROUND: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/CP) is a prevalent congenital malformation. Approximately 16 candidate loci for CL/CP have been identified in both animal models and humans through association or genetic linkage studies. One of these loci is the platelet-derived growth factor-C (PDGFC) gene. In animal models, a mutation in the PDGFC gene has been shown to lead to CL/CP, with PDGF-C protein...
