## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is a common birth defect throughout the world. Linkage studies have shown interferon regulatory factor 6 (__IRF6__) to be associated with CL/P in multiple populations, including one in Honduras. It is unknown, howe
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Interferon regulatory factor 6 (__IRF6__), the gene that causes van der Woude syndrome (VWS), is a candidate gene for nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCLP) because a number of studies have supported an association between NSCLP and single
Extensive epidemiological and genetic studies of the cause of oral clefts have demonstrated strong familial aggregation but have failed to yield definitive evidence of any single genetic mechanism. We used the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) to investigate the relationship between oral clefts
