Article Synopsis
  • Orofacial clefts, including cleft palate only (CPO) and cleft lip with or without palate (CL/P), are prevalent developmental disorders that create various clinical and psychological challenges.
  • In a study involving around 17 million genetic markers among sub-Saharan African populations, researchers identified new genetic loci associated with CPO on chromosomes 2 and 19, suggesting potential biological mechanisms.
  • The study confirmed the significance of previously known loci such as 8q24 for CL/P, along with the replication of other established genes like PAX7 and VAX1, contributing to our understanding of these conditions.
