Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND Non-syndromic cleft lip with cleft palate (NSCLP) is one of the most common congenital birth defects worldwide; it causes lifelong problems and imposes burdens on patients and their families. This study aimed to describe the genomic analysis and identification of de novo regulated endocrine-specific protein 18 (RESP18) rs2385404 and rs2385405 gene polymorphisms associated with NSCLP in a southern...
