Abstract excerpt
Non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs) represent the most common human craniofacial malformations, yet the majority of their genetic causes remain unclear. This study, by analyzing whole-exome sequencing (WES) data from multiple patients with NSOFCs, identified eight de novo low-frequency missense variants in the FAT3 gene, all of which were located within the extracellular cadherin domains of the FAT3 protein....
