Parents' tolerance for the conduct problems of the child with cleft lip and palate
The Cleft Palate Journal
|April 1, 1984
Abstract:
A standardized questionnaire was used to record parents' ratings of the frequency of conduct problems and their tolerance of the problems. According to parent report, children without facial clefts and children with facial clefts displayed conduct problems with about the same frequency. However, parents of children with facial clefts were significantly more tolerant of problems in their offspring. These data suggest that the social learning environments in the homes may be different for the two groups of children.

01:33Pleiotropy
Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...
01:23Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disorder, significantly affects the function of exocrine glands. This genetically inherited disease is characterized by the production of thick and sticky mucus, which can severely affect various organs and systems in the body.
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation, but...
