Wnt9b mutations are associated with cleftlipandcleftpalate in mice; however, the cause of these defects remains unknown.
2
During his fellowship, he'd found himself drawn to facial surgery, in particular fixing cleftlipsandcleftpalates.
1
All cases were children with cleft lip with or without cleftpalate.
2
A scar on his upper lip suggested a surgically repaired cleftpalate.
3
Scientists do not understand why cleftpalate and other craniofacial birth defects occur.
4
The second patient, a 4-year-old girl with a cleftpalate, developed palatine mucinosis.
5
Clinical examination revealed a cleftpalate with a protruding polypoid mass.
1
All cases were children with cleftlip with or without cleft palate.
2
Interventions: One-stage cleftlip repair versus a 2-staged cleftlip repair.
3
Similar associations were also found for cleftlip only, cleftlip, and palate.
4
Aim: Cleft nose is an important sequela after primary cheiloplasty in cleftlip patients.
5
The surgical protocol for bilateral cleftlip repair affected speech outcome in children with BCLP.
1
Background: Previous studies have found that children born with a non-syndromic orofacialcleft have lower-than-average educational attainment.
2
Over 80% of infants had an isolated orofacialcleft.
3
Conclusions: To summarize, the findings suggest that individuals with an orofacialcleft show undisturbed emotion regulation and recognition.
4
Conclusions: Maternal smoking and medication use is associated with orofacialcleft risk as well as medication use is with spina bifida.
5
We investigated maternal NAT2 phenotype and the interaction with smoking and medication use periconceptionally on orofacialcleft and spina bifida risk in offspring.
