An epidemiological and genetic study of facial clefting in France. I. Epidemiology and frequency in relatives.

چکیده
The frequencies of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL(P)) and isolated cleft palate (CP) have been estimated in France to be 0.082% and 0.035%, respectively, after exclusion of malformation syndromes. A genetic and epidemiological study has been carried out on 468 patients with CL(P) and 163 with CP. The results are given in detail and some specific points are discussed: the apparently low incidence in France, the relationship between sex ratio and abortion rates, the maternal effects, and the possibility of an association between CL(P) and CP.

متن کاملAn epidemiological and genetic study of facial clefting in France. II Segregation analysis.
Familial transmission of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL(P] and isolated cleft palate (CP) was studied in two French samples of 458 CL(P) and 156 CP nuclear families, using the recently implemented unified model. In neither case could discrimination be achieved between polygenic inheritance and monogenic inheritance with a high proportion of sporadic cases. In this type of disorder w...

Introduction: We present a retrospective two-center study series and discussion of the current literature to assess the benefits of facial nerve monitoring during parotidectomy. Materials and Methods: From 2007 to 2012, 128 parotidectomies were performed in 125 patients.

Background: Genomic instability is one of primary causes for malignant cell transformation. In this study induced genomic instability expressed as micronuclei in breast cancer (BC) patients with different stages of the disease compared with their unaffected first degree relatives (FDR) and normal unrelated controls was investigated. Materials and Methods: The background and net micronucleus fre...
متن کاملHLA Class I and Class II Genes Distribution of the Sistanis in Iran
Background: The high polymorphism in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes can be used as an identity of individuals to compare with other populations. This extreme polymorphism in the HLA system is accountable for the differences in alleles and haplotypes among ethnic groups, populations, and the inhabitants of many regions. Objective: To define the frequency of HLA alleles and haplotypes am...
