Abstract
Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are common, affecting 1:1000 live births. OFCs occur across a phenotypic spectrum - including cleft lip (CL), cleft lip and palate (CLP), or cleft palate (CP) - and can be further subdivided based on laterality, severity, or specific structures affected. Herein we review what is known about the genetic architecture underlying each of these subtypes, considering both shared and subtype-specific risks. While there are more known genetic similarities between CL and CLP than CP, recent research supports both shared and subtype-specific genetic risk factors within and between phenotypic classifications of OFCs. Larger sample sizes and deeper phenotyping data will be of increasing importance for the discovery of novel genetic risk factors for OFCs and various subtypes going forward.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1985, Trends in Genetics swiftly established itself as a "must-read" for geneticists, offering concise, accessible articles covering a spectrum of topics from developmental biology to evolution. This reputation endures, making TiG a cherished resource in the genetic research community. While evolving with the field, the journal now embraces new areas like genomics, epigenetics, and computational genetics, alongside its continued coverage of traditional subjects such as transcriptional regulation, population genetics, and chromosome biology.
Despite expanding its scope, the core objective of TiG remains steadfast: to furnish researchers and students with high-quality, innovative reviews, commentaries, and discussions, fostering an appreciation for advances in genetic research. Each issue of TiG presents lively and up-to-date Reviews and Opinions, alongside shorter articles like Science & Society and Spotlight pieces. Invited from leading researchers, Reviews objectively chronicle recent developments, Opinions provide a forum for debate and hypothesis, and shorter articles explore the intersection of genetics with science and policy, as well as emerging ideas in the field. All articles undergo rigorous peer-review.
