Abstract excerpt
De novo variants (DNs) are sporadically occurring variants found in an offspring but absent in both parents. DNs most commonly arise in the germline and are not under selective pressure; therefore, they may be enriched for disease-causing alleles. In fact, DNs have been implicated in multiple rare genetic disorders. Cleft palate (CP) is a craniofacial congenital anomaly occurring in ∼1 in 1,700 live births....
