Objective: Non-syndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA) may share common genetic factors with non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with individual's susceptibility to these anomalies. We selected five NSCL/P-associated SNPs from our previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) to test for the associations with NSTA.
Materials And Methods: A total of 677 NSTA cases and 1,144 healthy controls were recruited in this case-control study. Five genome-wide NSCL/P-associated SNPs (rs2235371, rs7078160, rs8049367, rs4791774, and rs13041247) were genotyped by TaqMan platform and evaluated for the associations with NSTA using plink software.
Results: No significant associations between these SNPs and risk of NSTA were observed in the overall analysis and subgroup analysis with the number of missing teeth. However, in the subgroup analysis by tooth position, rs8049367 was nominally associated with mandibular premolar agenesis (Dominant model: OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.47-0.93, p = 0.016; Heterozygote model: OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.41-0.88, P = 0.008). Rs4791774 showed a nominal association with congenitally missing maxillary canine (Dominant model: OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.28-0.98, p = 0.041; Heterozygote model: OR = 0.50, 95% CI = 0.26-0.97, P = 0.041) and premolar (Additive model: OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.36-0.96, p = 0.035).
Conclusion: This study showed that NSCL/P susceptible loci rs8049367 and rs4791774 were probably associated with the risk of NSTA.

This study investigated pathogenic genes associated with non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) through transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS). By integrating expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data with genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, we identified key susceptibility genes, including . Notably, the variant rs12884809 G>A was associated with an increased risk of NSCL/P by enhancing the binding of the transcription factor ELK1 to the promoter, thereby activating its expression.

The NC_000006.12: g.34887814C>G variant in TAF11 was identified as a potential functional variant in a Chinese pedigree including two non-syndromic cleft lip only (NSCLO) cases.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFNon-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC) are common craniofacial birth defects, and result from both genetic and environmental factors. NSOC include three major sub-phenotypes: non-syndromic cleft lip with palate (NSCLP), non-syndromic cleft lip only (NSCLO) and non-syndromic cleft palate only (NSCPO), NSCLP and NSCLO are also sometimes grouped as non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) based on epidemiology. Currently known loci only explain a limited proportion of the heritability of NSOC.

Objectives: To develop a reproducible, reliable clinical index of alveolar bone grafting (ABG) outcome based on the eruption position of the cleft canine tooth and determine the association between eruption position and radiographic outcome at 6 months post-grafting.
Methods: Children with complete, non-syndromic, unilateral/bilateral cleft lip and palate in the West of Scotland were identified. Post-ABG radiographic outcome (Kindelan index) and canine eruption position in children with a cleft of the alveolus who had undergone ABG were documented.

Objective: We assessed the prevalence of guardian-reported reading difficulties in children treated for non-syndromic craniosynostosis (NSC) and in relation to the location of the closed suture. Additionally, we determined correlations with guardian-reported neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and associations between reported reading ability, sex, timing of surgical intervention, parental education, and heredity of reading difficulties in guardians.
Design: Cross-sectional, prospective, population-based study.
