Abstract

It has been reported that BCL3 on chromosome 19q, or a nearby gene, may play a role in the etiology of non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) in some families. We tested 30 USA and 11 Mexican multiplex NSCL/P families for four markers on chromosome 19q: D19S178, APOC2/AC1, APOC2/007, and BCL3. While likelihood-based linkage analysis failed to show significant evidence of linkage, the transmission disequilibrium test indicated highly significant deviation from independent assortment of allele 3 at the BCL3 marker in both data sets (USA:P = 0.001; Mexican: P = 0.018; both combined: P < 0.001) and for allele 13 of the D19S178 marker in the Mexican data set (P = 0.004). These results support an association, possibly due to linkage disequilibrium, between chromosome 19 markers and a putative NSCL/P locus.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
