  • Closing in on Clefting
    NIDCR
    Visitor Comments  [ Professionals Mainly ]
    The varied array of clefting syndromes - the failure of the lip or palate to fuse properly … Cleft lip with or without cleft palate ( CL / P ) … NIDCR grantees have mapped the gene for Van der Woude syndrome, the most common form of syndromic clefting, to a narrow band on chromosome 1. However, the genes for non-syndromic clefting have been more elusive targets … In human studies, CL/P has been associated with genes on several different chromosomes … There are associations with specific regions on chromosomes 4, 6, and 19 that contain both know and unknown genes … Less is known about the underlying causes of cleft palate ( CP ) as an independent disorder. Scientists are closing in on the gene for a form of CP transmitted on the X chromosome ...

    Alternative titles; symbols CLEFT PALATE; CP CLEFT PALATE, ISOLATED Gene Map Locus: 2q32 Cleft palate as an isolated malformation behaves as an entity distinct from cleft lip with or without cleft palate estimated that the risk of recurrence in subsequently born children is about 2% if 1 child has it, 6% if 1 parent has it, and 15% if 1 parent and 1 child have it … The genetics is apparently complex … 2 classes of non-syndromic cleft palate: (1) familial CP, which appears to have an autosomal dominant component to its etiology, and (2) non-familial CP, which, by demonstrating an increasing frequency of CP with time and a maternal age effect, appears to be related to environmental factors ...

    38 non - syndromic orofacial cleft families of Italian ancestry from northeastern regions of Italy were studied for linkage to 2p13 … The same collection of families had been used to demonstrate linkage to the 6p23 chromosome region, with the presence of genetic heterogeneity … Evidence for genetic heterogeneity in this family set was apparently by both pairwise and multipoint linkage analyses ...
