Abstract excerpt
Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is one of the most common birth defects affecting 1/1000 Caucasians. Genetic factors are thought to contribute to the development of this disorder. A significant association between two restriction fragment length polymorphisms, the TGF alpha TaqI 2.7-kb allele and the TGF alpha BamHI 40-kb allele, at the transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha)...
