Orofacial clefts, common birth defects, are being investigated using novel genetic and environmental approaches. These studies aim to uncover the complex mechanisms underlying cleft development.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics and Developmental Biology
  • Birth Defects Research

Background:

  • Orofacial clefts represent common congenital anomalies with complex, multifactorial causes.
  • Understanding the etiology of orofacial clefts is crucial for prevention and treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore novel approaches for investigating the causes of orofacial clefts.
  • To identify genetic and environmental factors contributing to cleft development.

Main Methods:

  • Examining Mendelian clefting to identify relevant genes.
  • Analyzing chromosomal rearrangements associated with clefting.
  • Utilizing animal models for cleft research.
  • Correlating gene expression patterns with function.
  • Investigating gene-environment interactions in cleft etiology.
