In this study, we sought to determine the association between environmental factors and nonsyndromic cleft of the lip and/or palate (NSCLP) to understand the etiology of the disease. A total of 200 NSCLP cases and 327 controls were recruited at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Xuzhou City. We conducted face-to-face interviews with the mothers of both cases and controls. The factors increasing the risk of NSCLP were a positive family history [odds ratio (OR)=56.74], pesticide exposure (OR=8.90), and indoor decoration pollution (OR=4.32). On the other hand, the factors decreasing the risk of NSCLP were a high education level (OR=0.22) and supplementation of folic acid (OR=0.23) and multivitamins (OR=0.16). Positive family history, pesticide exposure, and indoor decoration pollution are associated with the risk of NSCLP. In contrast, high education level and folic acid and multivitamin supplementation are protective factors against NSCLP.

Non-syndromic cleft lip with/without cleft palate (nsCL/P) is one of the most common birth defects and has a multifactorial etiology. To date, over 45 loci harboring common risk variants have been identified. However, the effector genes at these loci, and the cell types that are affected by risk alleles, remain largely unknown.

Background: The present study compared the central auditory processing abilities using electrophysiological tests in children with non-syndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP) and their age-matched control group.
Method: Thirty children aged 7 to 15 years were recruited for the study. Participants were divided into 2 groups.

Objective: To delve into the intricate relationship between common genetic variations across the entire genome and the risk of non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P).
Methods: Utilizing summary statistics data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), a thorough investigation to evaluate the impact of common variations on the genome were undertook. This involved assessing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) heritability across the entire genome, as well as within specific genomic regions.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between variants present in the MSX1 gene and the risk of developing non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL±P) among individuals of Malay ethnicity in Malaysia.
Materials And Methods: This case-control study involved 89 patients with NSCL±P and 100 healthy control subjects. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed on both exon 1 and exon 2 of the MSX1 gene using four pairs of primers.

The present study aimed to assess the central auditory processing abilities and working memory in children with non-syndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP) and to compare with the developed normative and craniofacially normal peers. Sixteen NSCLP children aged 7 to 12 years and fifteen craniofacially normal peers were recruited in this study. Speech perception in noise Kannada (SPIN-K), gap detection threshold (GDT), dichotic consonant-vowel (DCV), and masking level difference (MLD) tests were administered to assess various central auditory processing abilities.
