Abstract

This study aimed to initially screen more susceptible variations at PAX9 gene in non-syndromic cleft palate only cases and then test their associations in independent non-syndromic orofacial cleft subtypes from Western Han Chinese population. Initially exons at PAX9 gene were screened for variations among 180 non-syndromic cleft palate only patients by the Sanger sequencing method, and the genotype data from 1000 Genomes Project Database was taken as control to perform Chi-square test. Subsequently, we performed association analysis among 2202 non-syndromic orofacial cleft patients (938 non-syndromic cleft palate only cases, 456 non-syndromic cleft lip only cases and 808 non-syndromic cleft lip and palate cases) and 1823 normal controls to replicate the role of two significant single nucleotide polymorphisms. Two intronic single nucleotide polymorphism rs12885612 (P = 0.047, OR = 0.671 and 95-0.996) and rs12881248 (P = 0.047, OR = 1.006 and 95 %CI: 0.443-0.995) were associated non-syndromic cleft palate only in the initial screen phase. Surprisingly, in replication analysis rs12885612 (P = 0.048, OR = 1.25, 95 %CI: 1.0-1.56) and rs12881248 (P = 0.037, OR = 1.26, 95 %CI: 1.01-1.57) exhibited significant association signal in non...Continue Reading

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.
