## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NCL/P) is a common structural malformation with a complex and multifactorial etiology. It has been shown that maternal psychological stress in the periconceptional period can contribute to an increase in the risk of NC

## Abstract Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is a common birth defect due to both genetic and environmental factors. Whorl lip print patterns are circular grooves on the central upper lip and/or the left and right lower lip. To determine if whorls are more common in famili
Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is a common congenital malformation affecting about 1/1,000 caucasian infants. Although the familial clustering of CL/P has been studied thoroughly, estimation of recurrence risk for genetic counseling purposes can be difficult. A survey was
## Abstract Nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (CLP) is among the most common human birth defects. Transmission patterns suggest that the causes are βmultifactorialβ combinations of genetic and nongenetic factors, mostly distinct from those causing cleft secondary palate (CP). The major etiological
Twin studies have played an important role in attempts to unravel the genetic contribution to diseases with adult onset, but have not been extensively utilized in efforts to establish the genetic contribution to common congenital anomalies. The paucity of twin research on congenital anomalies is par
An association between nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CLΒ±P) and genetic variation at the transforming growth factor Ξ± (TGFA) locus was originally reported in 1989. Subsequent population-based studies of this association have provided conflicting results. The present analyses we
