Cleft Lip-Palate CNV Analysis Uncovers New Clefting Genes
Researchers profiled copy number variants in more than 1,100 individuals, identifying duplications or deletions in known disease genes and in new clefting gene candidates.
Cleft Palate Study Shows Transcription Factor, Enhancer Roles in Related Developmental Processes
Researchers used genomic approaches to delve into the cleft lip and palate-related functions of a transcription factor called p63, identifying key enhancer and chromatin interactions.
U of Cincinnati Scores Nearly $2M in NIH, NSF Grants for Genetics of Cave-dwelling Fish
Scientists will look for genetic causes of craniofacial asymmetries and loss of skin pigmentation in a cave-dwelling fish that could shed light on similar conditions in humans.
Team Uses Targeted Sequencing to Identify Functional Variants for Cleft Lip
A University of Iowa-led team performed targeted sequencing on 1,400 trios to follow up on regions linked to cleft lip by genome-wide association or candidate gene studies.
UT-Houston, Univ. of Miami Partner on Hunt for Cleft Lip Genes
NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Investigators at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center-Houston and the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine will use a $3.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to identify genes that may cause familial cleft lip and palate (CLP).
