Orofacial clefts are the most common form of congenital craniofacial malformation worldwide. The etiology of these birth defects is multifactorial, involving genetic and environmental factors. However, in most cases, the underlying causes remain unexplained, precluding a molecular understanding of disease mechanisms. Here, we integrated genome-wide association data, targeted resequencing of case and control...
