Medical Sequencing of Candidate Genes for Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and Palate
Nonsyndromic or isolated cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) occurs in wide geographic distribution with an average birth prevalence of 1/700. We used direct sequencing as an approach to study candidate genes for CL/P. We report here the results of sequencing on 20 candidate genes for clefts in 184 cases with CL/P selected with an emphasis on severity and positive family history. Gene...
متن کاملAssessment of differentially expressed plasma microRNAs in nonsyndromic cleft palate and nonsyndromic cleft lip with cleft palate
Plasma microRNAs (miRNAs) have recently emerged as a new class of regulatory molecules that influence many biological functions. However, the expression profile of plasma microRNAs in nonsyndromic cleft palate (NSCP) or nonsyndromic cleft lip with cleft palate (NSCLP) remains poorly investigated. In this study, we used Agilent human miRNA microarray chips to monitor miRNA levels in three NSCP p...
متن کاملNonsyndromic cleft lip and palate, gastric cancer and tooth agenesis
BACKGROUND To determine the frequency of nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) in first-degree relatives and to analyze the prevalence of tooth agenesis in patients with gastric cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS This cross-sectional, observational, case-control study included 798 patients attended at hospital Santa Casa in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais and Alfa Institute of Gastroenterology ...
متن کاملOcular findings in children with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate.
The aim of this study was to evaluate ocular findings in children with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate. Fifty-seven consecutive patients with cleft lip and/or palate seeking orthodontic treatment during 2006 were examined prospectively from an ophthalmological standpoint. Mean age of the patients was 9.2 years (range: 15 days to 18 years). Of the 57 children in total, five cases (8.7%) had cl...
متن کاملAssociation of NAT1 and NAT2 genes with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate.
Nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP) is a common congenital deformity, often associated with environmental risk factors, including alcohol, smoking, drugs and radiation exposure. N-acetyltransferase (NAT)1 and NAT2 genes are involved in the detoxification and metabolic activation of numerous drugs and chemicals. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether genetic variations in ...
