Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is a prevalent craniofacial birth defect on a global scale. A number of candidate genes have been identified as having an impact on NSCL/P. However, the association between interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6) polymorphisms and NSCL/P has yielded inconsistent results, prompting the need for a meta-analysis to obtain more accurate estimates. METHODS We conducted a thorough screening of all relevant articles published up until November 15, 2023, in online bibliographic databases. The statistical analysis of the collected data was performed using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (Version 4.0) software. RESULTS A total of 79 case-control studies, comprising 14,003 cases and 19,905 controls, were included in our analysis. The combined data indicated that the IRF6 rs642961 and rs2235371 polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of NSCL/P in the overall population. However, no significant association was found between the rs2013162 and rs2235375 polymorphisms and the risk of NSCL/P in the overall population. Furthermore, subgroup analyses revealed significant correlations between the IRF6 rs642961, rs2235371, and rs2235375 polymorphisms and the risk of NSCL/P based on ethnic background and country of origin. Nevertheless, the rs2013162 polymorphism plays a protective role in Caucasians and mixed populations. CONCLUSIONS Our collective data indicates a significant association between the rs642961 and rs2235371 polymorphisms and the risk of NSCL/P in the overall population. The rs2235375 polymorphism could influence the susceptibility to NSCL/P based on ethnic background. Meanwhile, the rs2013162 polymorphism provides protective effects in Caucasian, mixed populations, and the Brazilian population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The disruption of craniofacial developmental pathways during early embryogenesis can lead to conditions such as nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). Several lines of evidence indicate that inadequate maternal nutrition causes low folate levels during the periconceptional period, resulting in NSCL/P. Although substantial research has been conducted on the possible link between SLC19A1 genetic variants and NSCL/P, the association between SLC19A1 80G>A (rs1051266) and NSCL/P remains unclear. In the present study, the associations of SLC19A1 80G>A with NSCL/P risk were assessed by calculating the pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by meta-analyses. METHODS Following the PRISMA guidelines, a meta-analysis was conducted on 10 studies assessing the NSCL/P risk associated with SLC19A1 80G>A variant. To ascertain the degree of relationship between the SLC19A1 80G>A genetic variant and the risk of NSCL/P, data were analyzed in allelic, recessive and dominant genetic models. CI of OR for each study and the pooled data were obtained. All statistical analyses were conducted utilizing the MetaGenyo software tool, which integrates the adjustment of P values for multiple testing through the Bonferroni method. RESULTS The pooled analysis showed that SLC19A1 80G>A variant significantly increased the NSCL/P risk in the allelic model (OR 1.39; 95% CI 1.00-1.92), recessive model (OR 1.37; 95% CI 1.03-1.82) and dominant models (OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.05-2.90). Publication bias was not observed. CONCLUSIONS This study supports that the SLC19A1 80G>A genetic variant is associated with NSCL/P risk.

Abstract
AIM Mammalian STE20-like protein kinase 2 (MST2) plays an important role in apoptosis and the development of many disorders. Here, we aim to explore if genetic variants in MST2 are associated with the risk of non-syndromic cleft lip with or without palate (NSCL/P). MATERIALS AND METHODS The association study was performed in a two-stage study of 1,069 cases and 1,724 controls to evaluate the association between genetic variants in the MST2 and NSCL/P risk. The potential function of the candidate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was predicted using HaploReg, RegulomeDB, and public craniofacial histone chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data. Haploview was used to perform the haplotype of risk alleles. The expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) effect was assessed using the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. Gene expression in mouse embryo tissue was performed using data downloaded from GSE67985. The potential role of candidate gene in the development of NSCL/P was assessed by correlation and enrichment analysis. RESULTS Among SNPs in MST2, rs2922070 C allele (Pmeta = 2.93E-04) and rs6988087 T allele (Pmeta = 1.57E-03) were linked with significantly increased risk of NSCL/P. Rs2922070, rs6988087 and their high linkage disequilibrium (LD) SNPs constituted a risk haplotype of NSCL/P. Individuals carrying 3-4 risk alleles had an elevated risk of NSCL/P compared to those who carried less risk alleles (P = 2.00E-04). The eQTL analysis revealed a significant association between these two variants and MST2 in muscle tissue of the body. The MST2 expressed during mouse craniofacial development and over-expressed in the human orbicularis oris muscle (OOM) of NSCL/P patients compared to controls. MST2 was involved in the development of NSCL/P by regulating the mRNA surveillance pathway, the MAPK signaling pathway, the neurotrophin signaling pathway, the FoxO signaling pathway and the VEGF signaling pathway. CONCLUSION MST2 was associated with the development of NSCL/P.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Paired box 7 (PAX7) has been considered as a candidate gene for non-syndromic cleft lip with or without palate (NSCL/P). However, there is no research for the XXX, and previous studies concentrated on limited variants. This study aimed to conduct sufficiently dense and powerful scans of variants at PAX7 and explored the roles of variants at PAX7 in NSCL/P among the XXX. DESIGN Targeted region sequencing was performed to thoroughly screen variations, followed by a two-phase association analysis. 159 NSCL/P cases and 542 controls were analyzed in phase 1. Then in phase 2, the validation study was performed using 1626 cases and 2255 controls. We also explored the roles of variants at PAX7 gene in NSCL/P subtypes. Additionally, indirect associations were found by calculating LD and haplotypes. SETTING The study was conducted in XXX. PATIENTS, PARTICIPANTS 159 NSCL/P cases and 542 controls were analyzed in phase 1. Then in phase 2, the validation study was performed using 1626 cases and 2255 controls. INTERVENTIONS Blood samples were collected. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES To explore the association analysis between variants at PAX7 and NSCL/P in XXX. RESULTS The results showed that rs2236810, rs114882979 and rs2236804 were significantly associated with NSCL/P, which were predicted to have regulatory functions. Besides, variants at PAX7 function differently in the NSCL/P subtypes. We also discovered a PAX7 missense variant, NM_001135254 p.A369 V (NM_002584.2:c.1106C > T). CONCLUSIONS In summary, we confirmed 3 SNPs at PAX7 were significantly associated with NSCL/P in XXX and identified a missense variant, NM_001135254 p.A369 V (NM_002584.2:c.1106C > T).

Abstract
Non syndromic cleft lip with or without palate (NSCL/P), one of the most common birth defects, is closely related to various risk factors. However, information regarding risk factors for NSCL/P in rural districts in China is very limited thus far. The objective of this study was designed to identify the potential risk factors for NSCL/P in rural districts. A comprehensive retrospective investigation including 435 NSCL/P patients and 402 healthy children was carried out in Hebei Province, China. Multiple logistic regression analysis and transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) were respectively used to identify non-genetic and genetic risk factors for NSCL/P, and then PLINK was used to explore the relationship between non-genetic and genetic risk factors. The results showed that maternal periconceptional exposure to pesticides and herbicides, as well as low parental education level were involved in the increased risk of NSCL/P, whereas maternal folic acid and multivitamin supplementation use during preconception period were associated with the reduced risk of NSCL/P. TDT analysis identified 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs7078160 and rs4752028) in VAX1 and one SNP (rs17563) in BMP4 as the genetic risk factors for NSCL/P. Further analysis showed that the genetic risk factors were closely related with the negative non-genetic risk factors. Our study identified the potential risk factors for NSCL/P in rural districts, thus providing a theoretical basis for the prevention of NSCL/P occurrence.

Abstract
Cleft lip and palate is a common congenital birth defect in humans. Its incidence rate in China is as high as 1.82%, and is now a frequent deformity observed among the Chinese population; moreover, it varies across regions. Although the etiology of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) has been widely investigated, the results are inconsistent. The specific genes and mechanisms responsible for NSCL/P have not been fully understood. Whole exome sequencing (WES) is a new strategy for studying pathogenic genes. WES studies on NSCL/P have not been conducted in East China. Therefore, the aim of this study was to screen candidate genes of NSCL/P in East China using WES and analyze the temporal and spatial expressions of the candidate genes during embryonic palatal development. WES was performed in 30 children with NSCL/P from East China to screen candidate genes. A bioinformatics analysis was performed using commercially available software. Variants detected by WES were validated by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. After WES, 506,144 single-nucleotide variant sites were found. The results of database comparison, functional analysis, and mass spectrometry revealed that only the laminin alpha 5 (LAMA5) gene (site: rs145192286) was associated with NSCL/P. Immunohistochemistry results showed that LAMA5 expression in the medial edge epithelium changed with formation, lifting, and contact during palatogenesis. Almost no LAMA5 expression was detected in the palatal mesenchyme or after palatal fusion. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry results showed consistent trends. In conclusion, the WES results shows that the mutation at the site (rs145192286) of LAMA5 is associated with NSCL/P. The temporal and spatial expressions of LAMA5 during palatal development further demonstrate the involvement of this gene. Therefore, we speculate that LAMA5 is a new candidate pathogenic gene of NSCL/P. The identification of new pathogenic genes would help elucidate the pathogenesis of NSCL/P and provide a scientific basis for the prenatal diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of NSCL/P.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) is a common maxillofacial birth defect, and the etiology of which is complex and still unclear. Accumulating studies indicate that long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs) and microRNAs(miRNAs) play important roles in NSCL/P. However, the potential regulatory associations remain largely unknown. In this study, we screened differentially expressed miRNAs and constructed competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks to lay a foundation for further research on the regulatory mechanism of ncRNAs in NSCL/P. METHODS NSCL/P plasma RNA was analyzed by miRNA sequencing. The bioinformatics database, GEO and STRING database, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis and Cytoscape software were used to analyze and screen lncRNAs and mRNAs potentially related to differential miRNAs. The expression levels of lncRNA, miRNA and mRNA in ceRNA network were detected by RT-qPCR. RESULTS In NSCL/P plasma samples, there were 47 differentially expressed miRNAs in CPO group and 36 differentially expressed miRNAs in CL/P group. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that cell cycle, cell response to DNA damage stimulation, and the TGF-βsignaling pathway were relevant to the formation of NSCL/P. The RT-qPCR results showed that the expression levels of lncRNA NEAT1, hsa-miR-130 b-3p, hsa-miR-212-3p, hsa-miR-200 b-3p and SMAD2 were different in NSCL/P. CONCLUSIONS We found that differentially expressed miR-212-3p, miR-200 b-3p and miR-130 b-3p may be involved in the pathogenesis of cleft palate by regulating related target genes.

Abstract
Craniomaxillofacial developmental anomalies are one of the most prevalent congenital defects worldwide and could result from any disruption of normal development processes, which is generally influenced by interactions between genes and the environment. Currently, with the advances in genetic screening strategies, an increasing number of novel variants and their roles in orofacial diseases have been explored. Zebrafish is recognized as a powerful animal model, and its homologous genes and similar oral structure and development process provide an ideal platform for studying the contributions of genetic and environmental factors to human craniofacial malformations. Here, we reviewed zebrafish models for the study of craniomaxillofacial developmental anomalies, such as human nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without an affected palate and jaw and tooth developmental anomalies. Due to its potential for gene expression and regulation research, zebrafish may provide new perspectives for understanding craniomaxillofacial diseaseand its treatment.

Abstract
Background Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is a common craniofacial birth defect. Growing evidence has demonstrated the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) hypothesis has played a role in the pathogenesis of NSCL/P. Here, we identified the important lncRNAs in NSCL/P and constructed a ceRNA regulatory network to predict their underlying functional mechanism. Methods Total RNA isolated from the peripheral blood samples were analyzed by the Human Clariom D Affymetrix platform and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Using the limma package in R software, DEGs in the expression profile of GSE42589 were identified from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Co-differentially expressed lncRNAs (co-DElncRNAs) were used to predict the microRNAs that may bind to them. Co-differentially expressed mRNAs (co-DEmRNAs) were subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. The hub genes were screened using the cytohubba plug-in in Cytoscape. A ceRNA network was built to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the etiology of NSCL/P. The expression levels of lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in the network were assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results We found 116 DElncRNAs and 2955 DEmRNAs from the GSE42589 dataset, and 2626 DElncRNAs and 2771 DEmRNAs from the Human Clariom D gene chip. A network of co-DEmRNAs containing 3712 edges and 621 nodes were identified by PPI analysis. A ceRNA regulatory network comprising lncRNA USP17L6P, hsa-miR-449c-5p, and MYC was established. qRT-PCR results revealed significantly lower expression levels of lncRNA USP17L6P and c-Myc in NSCL/P tissues, while the expression level of hsa-miR-449c-5p was higher as compared to control samples (p < 0.05). Conclusion The identified lncRNAs and the established ceRNA regulatory network provide novel insight into the pathogenesis of NSCL/P, therefore hold great promise in NSCL/P management in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without palate (NSCL/P) is a multifactorial and common birth malformation caused by genetic and environmental factors, as well as by teratogens. Genome-wide association studies found genetic variations with modulatory effects of NSCL/P formation in Chinese and Iranian populations. We aimed to identify the susceptibility of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without palate in the Indian population. MATERIAL AND METHODS The present study was conducted on NSCL/P cases and controls. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and Axiom- Precision Medicine Research Array (PMRA) was performed. The Axiom-PMRA covers 902,527 markers and several thousand novel risk variants. Quality control-passed samples were included for candidate genetic variation identification, gene functional enrichment, and pathway and network analysis. RESULTS The genome-wide association study identified fourteen novel candidate gene SNPs that showed the most significant association with the risk of NSCL/P, and eight were predicted to have regulatory sequences. CONCLUSION The GWAS study showed novel candidate genetic variations in NSCL/P formations. These findings contribute to the understanding of genetic predisposition to nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without palate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The research on the etiology of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate(NSCL/P) is challenging, and DNA methylation has an impact on the formation of cleft lip and palate. SUBJECTS In this study, one of a pair of monozygotic twins (T1) had nonsyndromic cleft lip (NSCL), and one of a pair of monozygotic twins (T2) had nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP). We determined the methylation profiles of more than 850,000 CpGs in the DNA of the blood samples from the two pairs of monozygotic twins. RESULT Methylation data indicated that 1184 differentially methylated CpG sites were found in the T1 group (651 hypermethylated and 533 hypomethylated) and 8099 differentially methylated CpG sites in the T2 group (1713 hypermethylated and 6386 hypomethylated) compared with the healthy twin.The common difference was 107 methylation sites.GO enrichment analysis showed that regulation of smooth muscle cell migration and actin cytoskeleton reorganization were the most prominent classes.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the TGF-β signaling pathway, Notch signaling pathway and Wnt signaling pathway are relevant to the formation of NSCL/P.Two selected genes (NTN1 and PLEKHA7) are involved in the formation of NSCL/P. CONCLUSION These findings provide some support for the hypothesis that abnormal DNA methylation may influence the formation of clefts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In our study, we focussed on three SNPs in the non-coding regions near FGFR2 gene, as studies on non-coding variants in the genome are the novel trends to identify the susceptible loci for nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). FGFR2 gene is selected as a candidate gene based on knock out animal models and the role played in syndromic forms of clefting. FGFR2 gene also plays an important role in FGF signaling pathway during craniofacial development. METHODS In the present study 148 case-parent triads were assessed for three SNPs rs10749408, rs11199874 and rs10788165 near FGFR2 gene by using TaqMan allelic discrimination method. Transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) was used to find the allelic association. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between the markers was analysed using Haploview program 4.2. Haplotype transmission effects were estimated using FAMHAP package. The possible parent-of-origin effects were assessed by likelihood based approach. RESULTS TDT analysis of three SNPs failed to show significant transmission disortion from heterozygous parents to the affected child and are not associated with NSCL/P. Linkage disequilibrium analysis showed strong LD between rs11199874 and rs10788165 SNPs. In the haplotype TDT analysis, GG haplotype of rs11199874-rs10788165 showed significant undertransmission to affected child. No significant parent-of-origin effects were observed. CONCLUSION The present study on noncoding variants near FGFR2 gene is not associated with NSCL/P. As the numbers of triads included in the study are less, further studies are needed including large sample size to find association with NSCL/P.

Abstract
Unaffected relatives of individuals with non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) show distinctive facial features. The presence of this facial endophenotype is potentially an expression of underlying genetic susceptibility to NSCL/P in the larger unselected population. To explore this hypothesis, we first partitioned the face into 63 partially overlapping regions representing global-to-local facial morphology and then defined endophenotypic traits by contrasting the 3D facial images from 264 unaffected parents of individuals with NSCL/P versus 3,171 controls. We observed distinct facial features between parents and controls across 59 global-to-local facial segments at nominal significance (p ≤ 0.05) and 52 segments at Bonferroni corrected significance (p < 1.2 × 10-3), respectively. Next, we quantified these distinct facial features as univariate traits in another dataset of 8,246 unaffected European individuals and performed a genome-wide association study. We identified 29 independent genetic loci that were associated (p < 5 × 10-8) with at least one of the tested endophenotypic traits, and nine genetic loci also passed the study-wide threshold (p < 8.47 × 10-10). Of the 29 loci, 22 were in proximity of loci previously associated with normal facial variation, 18 were near genes that show strong evidence in orofacial clefting (OFC), and another 10 showed some evidence in OFC. Additionally, polygenic risk scores for NSCL/P showed associations with the endophenotypic traits. This study thus supports the hypothesis of a shared genetic architecture of normal facial development and OFC.

Abstract
Background: Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is common congenital birth anomaly with multifactorial etiology. The GREM1 gene has been proposed to play a role in oral clefts development.Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between GREM1 polymorphisms and the risk of NSCL/P in an Iranian population.Methods: Genotyping of rs7162202, rs12915554, rs3743105, rs1129456, and rs10318 polymorphisms of GREM1 gene in 150 NSCL/P and 152 healthy subjects was determined by the PCR-RFLP or T-ARMS-PCR.Results: The findings showed that the rs12915554 variant significantly increased the risk of NSCL/P in heterozygous (OR = 4.20, 95%CI = 2.46-7.11, p < 0.0001, AC vs AA), and allele (OR = 3.17, 95%CI = 2.00-5.08, p < 0.0001, C vs A) genetic models. The rs3743105 polymorphism was correlated with reduced risk of NSCL/P in heterozygous (OR = 0.49, 95%CI = 0.29-0.83, p = 0.008, AG vs GG) and dominant (OR = 0.54, 95%CI = 0.33-0.89, p = 0.018, GA + AA vs GG) genetic models. The rs1129456 variant was positively associated with the risk of NSCL/P in heterozygous (OR = 2.91, 95%CI = 1.12-7.38, p = 0.028, AT vs AA) and allele (OR = 2.80, 95%CI = 2.80-6.95, p = 0.031, T vs C). The rs10318 polymorphism significantly reduced NSCL/P risk in homozygous (OR = 0.20, 95%CI = 0.06-0.67, p = 0.013, TT vs CC), dominant (OR = 0.57, 95%CI = 0.36-0.91, p = 0.019, CT + CC vs CC), recessive (OR = 0.24, 95%CI = 0.07-0.76, p = 0.031, TT vs CT + CC), and allele (OR = 0.57, 95%CI = 0.38-0.84, p = 0.005, T vs C). No correlation was observed between rs7162202 polymorphism and NSCL/P.Conclusion: The findings support that GREM1 polymorphisms are involved in NSCL/P susceptibility in an Iranian population.

Abstract
Background Reduced folate carrier 1 (RFC1) gene is a candidate for susceptibility to nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). Association between RFC1 A80G polymorphism and NSCL/P have been studied. The published results are conflicting. Methods A meta-analysis of the association between RFC1 A80G polymorphism and NSCL/P was carried out using Stata13.0. A systematic literature search was performed through the PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, China Biology Medicine databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and the Wanfang databases. All relevant studies up to 9 September 2019 were identified. Results Nine case-control studies including 4,229 total participants (1,334 NSCL/P children, 1,515 healthy children, 656 mothers of the NSCL/P children, and 724 mothers of healthy control children) were included in this study. The meta-analysis revealed that two genetic models of RFC1 A80G polymorphism in NSCL/P children increased risk of NSCL/P: the homozygote model (GG vs. AA, OR =2.346, 95% CI: 1.127-4.884) and the recessive model (GG vs. AG + AA, OR =1.503, 95% CI: 1.049-2.152). Further sensitivity analysis indicated that the frequency of G allele and GG genotype in NSCL/P children was significantly higher than those in the control. However, there was no significant statistical differences after Bonferroni correction. Subgroup analyses indicated the presence of the association of all the model with NSCL/P risk in the Indian children. RFC1 A80G polymorphism in the maternal population of NSCL/P children was not significantly associated with children NSCL/P. Conclusions The RFC1 A80G polymorphism was a candidate for susceptibility to NSCL/P in the Indian pediatric population. More studies with larger samples are necessary to reach more conclusive outcomes.

Abstract
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms are thought to be involved in the development of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P), but published results are contradictory. We therefore designed an updated meta-analysis to pool eligible studies and to evaluate further the possible relations between MTHFR polymorphisms (c.677C>T and c.1298A>C) and susceptibility to NSCL/P. A comprehensive search based on PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Embase databases was made up to February 2018. Twenty-three case-control and 10 case-parent trio studies (including 1149 cases and 1161 controls) were retrieved. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI were used to estimate the pooled strength of association under different genetic models. The Q test and I2 test were used to estimate heterogeneity among studies, the quality of which was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. In the MTHFR c.677C>T polymorphism group, there were significant overall results for the recessive (OR 1.231, 95%CI 1.092 to 1.387) and homozygote (OR 1.252, 95%CI 1.078 to 1.456) models. Subgroup analysis by subjects and ethnicity identified only associations in European mothers for the recessive model and the homozygote model. For the c.1298A>C group, there were no significant results for either European or Asian patients for all genetic models. The MTHFR c.677C>T polymorphism might increase susceptibility to NSCL/P in European mothers, but was negatively associated in Asian patients, and the MTHFR c.1298A>C polymorphism is not involved in the development of NSCL/P in either European or Asian patients.

Abstract
Aims: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is a common birth defect with an average prevalence of 1/700 to 1/1000. Almost 70% of CL/P cases are nonsyndromic CL/P (NSCL/P). The aim of this study was to identify the underlying cause of a four-generation Chinese family with autosomal dominant NSCL/P. Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes, and whole-exome sequencing was carried out to identify the underlying genetic cause of the disorder. The mutation was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methods. Western blotting and coimmunoprecipitation were used to analyze the protein expression level and adhesive dimerization of the CDH1 mutants. Slow aggregation assays were conducted to investigate the cell-cell adhesion ability. Results: A novel missense mutation (c.468G>C/p.Trp156Cys) of CDH1 was identified in the proband and the mutation was shown to cosegregate with the phenotype in the family. Furthermore, we found that the p.Trp156Cys mutation led to decreased E-cadherin dimerization and cell-cell adhesion ability. Conclusions: Our findings identified a novel CDH1 variant (c.468G>C/p.Trp156Cys) responsible for NSCL/P in a Chinese family, which expanded the mutational spectrum of the CDH1 gene and may contribute to understanding the molecular basis of NSCL/P.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence support an association between tropomyosin 1 (TPM1) and the risk of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). The present study aimed to investigate the association between TPM1 polymorphisms and the risk of NSCL/P in an Iranian population. This case-control was done on 105 NSCL/P patients and 110 unrelated healthy controls. TPM1 rs11071720, rs3803499, rs12148828, and rs1972041 polymorphisms were genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The finding showed that rs11071720 polymorphism significantly increased the risk of NSCL/P in homozygous codominant (odds ratio [OR] = 2.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.14-5.69, p = 0.023, TT vs. CC), recessive (OR = 2.33, 95% CI = 1.06-5.18, p = 0.021, TT vs. CT + CC), and allele (OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.02-2.30, p = 0.030, T vs. C). The rs12148828 polymorphism was associated with protection against NSCL/P in codominant (OR = 0.27, 95% CI = 0.15-0.48, p < 0.001, TC vs. TT) and allele (OR = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.22-0.64, p < 0.001, C vs. T). Regarding rs3803499, the findings proposed that this polymorphism significantly increased the risk of NSCL/P in codominant (OR = 3.86, 95% CI = 1.19-12.56, p = 0.025, CC vs. TT) and recessive (OR = 3.74, 95% CI = 1.09-14.15, p = 0.018, CC vs. CT + TT). No significant association was practical between rs1972041 polymorphism and NSCL/P. In conclusion, the findings proposed that TPM1 polymorphisms may contribute to the etiology of NSCL/P in a sample of the Iranian population.

Abstract
Objectives: Orofacial clefting is one of the most prevalent craniofacial malformations. Previous research has demonstrated that unaffected relatives of patients with non-syndromic cleft lip with/without cleft palate (NSCL/P) show distinctive facial features, which can be an expression of underlying NSCL/P susceptibility genes. These results support the hypothesis that genes involved in the occurrence of a cleft also play a role in normal craniofacial development. In this study, we investigated the influence of genetic variants associated with NSCL/P on normal-range variation in facial shape. Methods: A literature review of genome wide association studies (GWAS) investigating the genetic etiology of NSCL/P was performed, resulting in a list of 75 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in 38 genetic loci. Genotype data were available for 65 of these selected SNPs in three datasets with a combined sample size of 7,418 participants of European ancestry, whose 3D facial images were also available. The effect of each SNP was tested using a multivariate canonical correlation analysis (CCA) against 63 hierarchically-constructed facial segments in each of the three datasets and meta-analyzed. This allowed for the investigation of associations between SNPs known to be involved in NSCL/P and normal-range facial shape variations in a global-to-local perspective, without preselecting specific facial shape features or characteristics. Results: Six NSCL/P SNPs showed significant associations with variation in normal-range facial morphology. rs6740960 showed significant effects in the chin area (p = 3.71 × 10−28). This SNP lies in a non-coding area. Another SNP, rs227731 near the NOG gene, showed a significant effect in the philtrum area (p = 1.96 × 10−16). Three SNPs showed significant effects on the shape of the nose. rs742071 (p = 8.71 × 10−14), rs34246903 (p = 6.87 × 10−12), and rs10512248 (p = 8.4 × 10−9). Respectively, these SNPs are annotated to PAX7, MSX1, and PTCH1. Finally, rs7590268, an intron variant of THADA, showed an effect in the shape of the supraorbital ridge (p = 3.84 × 10−7). Conclusions: This study provides additional evidence NSCL/P-associated genetic variants influence normal-range craniofacial morphology, with significant effects observed for the chin, the nose, the supraorbital ridges and the philtrum area.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nonsyndromic clefts of the lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) are one of the most common polygenic diseases. Recently, many studies focused on the association between CRISPLD2 polymorphisms and NSCL/P risk. However, some studies have shown opposite results. In this study, meta-analysis was used to confirm whether CRISPLD2 polymorphism was associated with NSCL/P, and the possible mechanism between CRISPLD2 and NSCL/P was explored. METHODS Relevant studies were conducted on PubMed, Ovid, EBSCO, CINAHL, FMRS, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang databases from their inception up to June 31, 2016. Review Manager 5.0.24 was used to analyze whether CRISPLD2 polymorphism was involved in NSCL/P by pooling odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Potential publication bias was evaluated by visual inspection of the funnel plot. RESULTS CRISPLD2 rs4783099 was associated with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) statistically (OR = 3.18, P < .01). Compared to genotype TT, genotypes CC and CT were correlated significantly (OR = 2.04, P = .04) with CL/P. No evidence showed an association between genetic variation at the CRISPLD2 locus and cleft palate only (CP). CONCLUSION The polymorphism of CRISPLD2 rs4783099 is correlated with an increased risk of CL/P.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported an association between maternal zinc deficiency and increased risk of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) in offspring. A high prevalence of zinc deficiency and a high prevalence of NSCL/P have been reported in Ecuador. We postulated that mothers of infants with NSCL/P may have lower serum zinc levels than women from the general population. METHODS A case series study was conducted from November 2013 to July 2016. Thirty-five healthy mothers of infants with NSCL/P were selected during surgical missions conducted by Operación Sonrisa Ecuador. A single blood sample along with pertinent medical history was collected during personal interviews after 3.6 months postpartum. The prevalence of plasma zinc concentration (PZn) deficiency among the participants was determined and analyzed along with the prevalence of PZn deficiency in Ecuadorian women of reproductive age from the general population. RESULTS The mean PZn was 11.47 µmol/dm3 . The prevalence of PZn deficiency among the participants was 31.4% (95% CI: 17.1-48.6) and differed significantly from the prevalence of zinc deficiency observed among women from the general population (G2 = 8.66; p < .05). CONCLUSIONS The results showed that the prevalence of PZn deficiency is lower in a cohort of healthy mothers of infants with NSCL/P than in women from the general population in Ecuador. More studies are required to confirm these findings and evaluate other factors related to NSCL/P pathophysiology in the Ecuadorian population.

Abstract
The aetiology of non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is complex involving multiple interacting genes and environmental factors. The primary objective of the present study was to investigate the role of TFAP2A gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the pathogenesis of NSCL/P. In this study, 173 unrelated NSCL/P patients and 176 controls without clefts were genotyped with TFAP2A rs1675414 (Exon 1), rs3798691 (Intron 1), and rs303050 (Intron 4) variants by allele-specific amplification using the KASPar SNP genotyping system. The method of multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was used to analyze gene-gene interactions. TFAP2A polymorphisms are not found to be associated with non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) at either the genotype or allele levels. No linkage disequilibrium (LD) was found between TFAP2A variants. MDR analysis did not show a significant effect of the TFAP2A gene polymorphisms on susceptibility to NSCL/P (p > 0.05). These results suggest that the analyzed variations in TFAP2A gene might not be associated with NSCL/P pathogenesis in south Indian population.

Abstract
Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is one of the most common birth defects worldwide and is characterized by abnormalities of the orofacial structure. Syndromic CL/P is mainly caused by Mendelian disorders such as Van der Woude Syndrome (VWS). However, >70% of CL/P cases are nonsyndromic, characterized by isolated orofacial cleft without any known syndrome. The etiology of nonsyndromic CL/P (NSCL/P) remains elusive, but it has been suggested that causative genes of syndromic CL/P might also contribute to NSCL/P. As such, the VWS causative gene IRF6 has been extensively studied in NSCL/P. Recently, GRHL3 was identified as another VWS causative gene. Thus, it may be a novel candidate gene for NSCL/P. In the present study, we genotyped 10 tag SNPs covering GRHL3 and performed association analysis with NSCL/P in 504 cases and 455 healthy controls. Our preliminary results identified rs10903078, rs4638975, and a haplotype rs10903078-rs6659209 of GRHL3 that exceeded the significance threshold (p<0.05), though none survived Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. As the first study between GRHL3 and NSCL/P, the contribution of this gene to NSCL/P etiology should be interpreted with caution based on existing evidence. Further, the robustness of association between GRHL3 and NSCL/P should be further validated in expanded cohorts.

Abstract
A deficiency of GTP cyclohydrolase, encoded by the GCH1 gene, results in two neurological diseases: hyperphenylalaninaemia type HPABH4B and DOPA-responsive dystonia. Genes involved in neurotransmitter metabolism and motor systems may contribute to palatogenesis. The purpose of the study was to analyse polymorphic variants of the GCH1 gene as risk factors for non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). Genotyping of nine polymorphisms was conducted in a group of 281 NSCL/P patients and 574 controls. The GCH1 variant rs17128077 was associated with a 1.7-fold higher risk for NSCL/P (95 %CI = 1.224-2.325; p = 0.001). We also found a significant correlation between the rs8004018 and rs17128050 variants and an increased risk of oral clefts (p trend = 0.003 and 0.004, respectively). The best evidence of the global haplotype association was observed for rs17128050 and rs8004018 (p corr = 0.0152). This study demonstrates that the risk of NSCL/P is associated with variants of the GCH1 gene related to BH4 metabolism and provides some evidence of the relationships between morphological/functional shifts in the central nervous system and orofacial clefts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have reported multiple genetic risk loci for non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs) in many populations. However, the contribution of these loci to NSOFC in India, which comprises one-fifth of the global population, is completely lacking. Our aim was to replicate the association of the SNPs located on 1p22 chromosomal loci (rs540026, rs481931) and 20q11.2 (rs13041247, rs11696257) in the aetiology of NSOFCs, in South Indian populations. METHODS The SNPs were genotyped by using KBiosciences KASPar SNP genotyping chemistry in 173 cases and 176 controls for NSOFCs in South India. To estimate the association between these SNPs and NSOFCs, chi-square test was adopted. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were also calculated in order to assess the risk. RESULTS Single nucleotide polymorphisms located at chromosomal region 1p22 are not found to be associated with cleft lip with or without non-syndromic cleft palate (NSCL/P) and non-syndromic cleft palate only (NSCPO) at either the genotype or allele levels. Further, there is no LD observed between these variants. The polymorphic variants near 20q11.2 (rs13041247, rs11696257) are in complete linkage disequilibrium (LD) and are significantly associated with only NSCL/P in genotypic (p=0.013) and allelic models (p=0.029). In the genotypic model significance persisted even after Bonferroni correction (p<0.016). CONCLUSION These results suggest that 20q11.2 SNPs could play a contributory role in the pathophysiology and risk of NSCL/P, while the variations in 1p22 do not underlie the pathophysiology of NSOFCs in South Indian populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To further assess the roles of the ABCA4 (ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A, member 4) gene in NSCL/P, we investigated two tag SNPs in ABCA4 (rs481931 and rs560426) in a northern Chinese Han population where the prevalence of NSCL/P is high. MATERIALS AND METHODS The two SNPs were examined for association with NSCL/P in 344 patients and 324 healthy controls. Peripheral blood samples were acquired at study enrollment, and DNA samples were extracted. SNPs were genotyped using a mini-sequencing (SNAPSHOT) method. RESULTS We observed a significant correlation between the ABCA4 SNP rs560426 and NSCL/P (p=0.0041) but no evidence of association between rs481931 and NSCL/P. The G/G genotype at the rs560426 SNP in ABCA4 gene had an odd ratios of 2.39 (95%CI: 1.38-4.14, p=0.0041) compared with the A/A genotype, and a similar significance was noted in the CL/P subgroup (ORA/G=1.60, 95%CI: 1.09-2.34, ORG/G=2.96, 95%CI: 1.63-5.37 and ORG/G+A/G=1.80, 95%CI: 1.25-2.60, p=0.0007). CONCLUSIONS Our study provides further evidence regarding the roles of genetic markers in ABCA4 in NSCL/P development in this northern Chinese Han population. G allele of rs560426 may be a risk factor for developing NSCL/P.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The etiology of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is very complex and still not well elucidated. Given the critical role of DNA damage repair in the embryonic development, we decided to test the hypothesis that polymorphisms of selected DNA repair genes might contribute to the risk of NSCL/P in the Polish population. METHODS Analysis of 36 polymorphisms in 12 DNA damage repair genes (ATM, BLM, BRCA1, BRIP1, E2F1, MLH1, MRE11A, MSH2, MSH6, NBN, RAD50, and RAD51) was conducted using TaqMan assays in a group of 263 NSCL/P patients and matched control group (n = 526). RESULTS Statistical analysis of genotyping results revealed that nucleotide variants in the BRIP1 (BACH1) gene were associated with the risk of NSCL/P. Under assumption of a dominant model, the calculated odds ratios (ORs) for BRIP1 rs8075370 and rs9897121 were 1.689 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.249-2.282; p = 0.0006) and 1.621 (95% CI, 1.200-2.191; p = 0.0016), respectively. These results were statistically significant even after applying multiple testing correction. Additional evidence for a causative role of BRIP1 in NSCL/P etiology was provided by haplotype analysis. Borderline association with a decreased risk of this anomaly was also observed for BLM rs401549 (ORrecessive = 0.406; 95% CI, 0.223-1.739; p = 0.002) and E2F1 rs2071054 (ORdominant = 0.632; 95% CI, 0.469-0.852; p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that polymorphic variants of DNA damage repair genes play a role in the susceptibility to NSCL/P. BRIP1 might be novel candidate gene for this common developmental anomaly.
