Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of Cleft Lip with or without Cleft Palate (CLP) varies by geography and ethnicity, particularly in consanguineous populations. This study aimed to identify gene variants contributing to the development of both syndromic (SCLP) and non-syndromic (NSCLP) forms of the condition in 20 consanguineous Kuwaiti families. We used exome sequencing and assessed the variants' predicted functional roles. Seven...
