  • Genome-wide analyses of non-syndromic cleft lip with palate identify 14 novel loci and genetic heterogeneity - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 28232668

    ABSTRACT: Non-syndromic cleft lip with palate (NSCLP) is the most serious sub-phenotype of non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFC), which are the most common craniofacial birth defects in humans. Here we conduct a GWAS of NSCLP with multiple independent replications, totalling 7,404 NSOFC cases and 16,059 controls from several ethnicities, to identify new NSCLP risk loci, and explore the genetic heterogeneity between sub-phenotypes of NSOFC. We identify 41 SNPs within 26 loci that achieve genome-wide significance, 14 of which are novel (RAD54B, TMEM19, KRT18, WNT9B, GSC/DICER1, PTCH1, RPS26, OFCC1/TFAP2A, TAF1B, FGF10, MSX1, LINC00640, FGFR1 and SPRY1). These 26 loci collectively account for 10.94% of the heritability for NSCLP in Chinese population. We find evidence of genetic heterogeneit

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • genetic cleft palate risk preconception counseling Moderate

    rs11582254-G allele associated with 1.16-fold increased risk of nonsyndromic cleft lip/palate in GWAS

    discuss family planning and genetic risk with OB/GYN or genetic counselor

Screening

  • prenatal ultrasound for cleft lip/palate Moderate

    Elevated genetic risk warrants early detection during pregnancy for care planning

    include detailed palatal assessment in routine prenatal ultrasound
