Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how hypoxia during embryo development influences oral clefts in an animal model (zebrafish) and the role of HIF-1A gene polymorphisms in human oral clefts.
- The zebrafish were subjected to different levels of hypoxia, which resulted in craniofacial abnormalities, including clefts, indicating a strong connection between hypoxia and these deformities.
- However, genetic analysis of Brazilian families showed no link between specific HIF-1A gene polymorphisms and oral clefts, suggesting that while hypoxia is a risk factor, HIF-1A variants do not contribute to this condition in humans.
