BACKGROUND: Nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or cleft palate (NSCLP) are common congenital anomalies in humans, the etiologies of which are complex and associated with both genetic and environmental factors. Previous data suggested single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of rs1546124, rs4783099, and rs1697
Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is the most common inborn craniofacial anomaly. Affected individuals require extensive medical and psychosocial support. Although CL/P has a complex and poorly understood etiology, increasing evidence of folate pathway involvement has been collected. So
Orientals consisting of Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, and Filipinos are clearly at higher risk for cleft lip with or without cleft palate [CL(P)] than whites, Puerto Ricans, and Hawaiians/part-Hawaiians in Hawaii. Using the model of diallele cross, CL(P) incidences in incrosses and outcrosses involvin
