Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pathogenic protein-altering variants play a role in the etiology of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without palate (nsCL±P), one of the most common craniofacial anomalies. However, the genetic basis of many cases remains unclear, complicating risk prediction for affected families. PURPOSE: This study utilized whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 150 case-families with nsCL±P from sub-Saharan Africa to...
