## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Clefts of the lip and/or palate (cleft lip/palate) are notable for their complex etiology. The WNT pathway regulates multiple developmental processes including craniofacial development and may play a role in cleft lip/palate and other defects of craniofacial development s

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCLP) is a common birth defect that has a multifactorial etiology. Despite having substantial genetic liability, <15% of the genetic contribution to NSCLP has been delineated. In our efforts to dissect the genetics of
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CLP) and cleft palate only (CPO) have an inherited component and, many studies suggest, a relationship with folate. Attempts to find folateβrelated genes associated with clefts have, however, often been inconclusive. This study exa
