Genome-wide analyses of non-syndromic cleft lip with palate identify 14 novel loci and genetic heterogeneity

چکیده
Non-syndromic cleft lip with palate (NSCLP) is the most serious sub-phenotype of non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFC), which are the most common craniofacial birth defects in humans. Here we conduct a GWAS of NSCLP with multiple independent replications, totalling 7,404 NSOFC cases and 16,059 controls from several ethnicities, to identify new NSCLP risk loci, and explore the genetic heterogeneity between sub-phenotypes of NSOFC. We identify 41 SNPs within 26 loci that achieve genome-wide significance, 14 of which are novel (RAD54B, TMEM19, KRT18, WNT9B, GSC/DICER1, PTCH1, RPS26, OFCC1/TFAP2A, TAF1B, FGF10, MSX1, LINC00640, FGFR1 and SPRY1). These 26 loci collectively account for 10.94% of the heritability for NSCLP in Chinese population. We find evidence of genetic heterogeneity between the sub-phenotypes of NSOFC and among different populations. This study substantially increases the number of genetic susceptibility loci for NSCLP and provides important insights into the genetic aetiology of this common craniofacial malformation.

Genetics of Cleft Lip and Palate – Is it still patchy?
Clefts of the lip and/or palate (CL/P) are immediately recognizable disruptions of normal facial structure. Approximately 1 in 700 children born have a cleft lip or a cleft palate or both with a lifetime cost of treatment estimated at $200,000. CLP and CP individuals may experience difficulties in feeding, speaking, hearing and social integration. Recent successes in genome-wide linkage and ass...

Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) and isolated cleft palate (CPI) are some of the most common congenital malformations, occurring in roughly 1.5-2 per 1,000 Caucasian births, with higher prevalence rates in Hispanic, Asian, and Native American populations (up to 1/500), and lower rates in African populations (1/2,000). Clefting abnormalities are associated with increased morbidity a...

Orofacial clefts, particularly non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) are the most common craniofacial deformities, affecting one in every 700 to 1000 newborns worldwide. Numerous efforts have been made to understand the etiology of CL/P so as to predict its occurrence and to prevent it from occurring in the future. In the recent years, advances in genetics and molecular bi...
