The need for secondary palate surgery for velopharyngeal insufficiency was also analyzed.

Mice lacking TGF-beta 3 did not have cleft mandible, but had clefting of the secondary palate as a feature of null mutation phenotype.

Our results establish a genetic program that reiteratively organizes signaling domains to coordinate the growth of the secondary palate with the elongating midfacial complex.

We have identified a unique region of the secondary palate associated with the periodic formation of rugae during the rostral outgrowth of the face.

In this study, we provide in-depth analysis of PBX1 and PBX2 protein localization from early stages of midfacial morphogenesis throughout development of the secondary palate.
