Abstract
Cleft lip and cleft palate (CL/P) are among the most common congenital malformations in neonates and have syndromic or nonsyndromic forms. Nonsyndromic forms of malformation are being reported to be associated with chromosomal DNA modification by teratogenic exposure and to complex genetic contributions of multiple genes. Syndromic forms are shown to be related to chromosomal aberrations or monogenic diseases. There is a growing body of data illustrating the association of several genes with risk of developing this malformation, including genetic defects in T-box transcription factor-22 (TBX22), interferon regulatory factor-6 (IRF6), and poliovirus receptor-like-1 (PVRL1), responsible for X-linked cleft palate, cleft lip/palate-ectodermal dysplasia syndrome, and Van der Woude and popliteal pterygium syndromes, respectively. Genetic variants in MTR, PCYT1A, ASS1, SLC 25A13, GSTM1, GSTT1, SUMO1 BHMT1, and BHMT2 are being reported to be linked with CL/P risk. The etiology of nonsyndromic CLP is still remained to be unknown, although mutations in candidate genes have been found. Here, we provide an overview about the potential variants to be associated with CL/P for identification of the relative risk of CLP with respect to the basis of genetic background and environmental factors (e.g., dietary factors, alcohol use).

Abstract
Background: The pathogenicity of cleft lip (CL) is pretty complicated since it is influenced by the interaction of environment and genetic factors. The purpose of this study was to conduct a genome-wide screening of aberrant methylation loci in partial lesion tissues of patients with nonsyndromic CL (NSCL) and preliminarily validate candidate dysmethylated genes associated with NSCL. Methods: Fifteen healthy and sixteen NSCL fetal lip tissue samples were collected. The Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip was used to screen aberrant methylation loci in three NSCL and three healthy lip tissues. The differential methylation sites and functions of the annotated genes between NSCL and healthy lip tissues were analyzed using minfi package of R software, cluster analysis, Gene Ontology (GO) annotation, and metabolic pathway annotation. Gene expression was assessed in nine differentially methylated genes by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The transcriptions mRNA levels of three out of nine candidate genes were downregulated remarkably in NSCL lip tissues, and these three genes’ abnormal methylation loci were validated by pyrosequencing in 16 NSCL cases and 15 healthy cases. Results: In total, 4879 sites in the genes of NSCL odinopoeia fetuses showed aberrant methylation when compared with normal lip tissue genome. Among these, 3661 sites were hypermethylated and 1218 sites were hypomethylated as compared to methylation levels in healthy specimens. These aberrant methylation sites involved 2849 genes and were widely distributed among the chromosomes. Most differentially methylated sites were located in cytosine-phosphoric acid-guanine islands. Based on GO analysis, aberrantly methylated genes were involved in 11 cellular components, 13 molecular functions, and a variety of biological processes. Notably, the transcription of DAB1, REELIN, and FYN was significantly downregulated in lesion tissues of NSCL fetus (P < 0.05). Pyrosequencing results validated that there were two loci in DAB1 with high methylation status in patient tissues (P < 0.05). Conclusions: We detected numerous aberrantly methylated loci in lesion tissues of NSCL fetus. Aberrant gene expression in the REELIN signaling pathway might be related with NSCL. Decreased transcription of DAB1, a member of REELIN signal pathway, resulted from its abnormal high methylation, which might be one of the factors underlying the occurrence of NSCL.
