Objective: The presented study shows a new and innovative method to determine nasal asymmetries in a simple way in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP) in order to plan corrective surgery.
Design: 86 non-syndromic patients with cleft lip and palate were divided into 2 groups: a) patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate b) patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate.
Patients: follow-up of hospital records of 86 patients aged 2-18 years.
Main Outcome: Based on standardised photos of the nose from 3 different directions, the nose symmetry was assessed. A new digital measurement system was used, which is integrated into proven clinical programmes. These were compared with a control group. In addition, a mirror fog test and a standardised questionnaire were used.
Result: The overall results showed a good symmetry of the nose postoperatively, as well as a high satisfaction of the patients and their parents. Profile and angle measurements showed a better result.
Conclusio: The presented measurement system and especially the Cleft Lip Component Symmetry Index (CLCSI) allows an individual and very effective assessment of the symmetry of the nose as well as a control of the growth in patients with CLP. The method is easy to apply in daily practice, even for untrained practitioners.

Objectives: This study aims to explore the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) loci near the haplotype region hg19 chr9:100560865-100660865 of the forkhead box E1 (FOXE1) gene and the occurrence of non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) in western Han Chinese population.
Methods: In the first stage, our study recruited 159 NSCL/P patients and performed targeted region sequencing to screen SNPs loci near the haplotype region of the FOXE1 gene associated with NSCL/P. In the second stage, we selected 21 common SNPs and re-enrolled 1 000 non-syndromic cleft lip only (NSCLO) patients, 1 000 non-syndromic cleft palate only (NSCPO) patients, and 1 000 normal controls to verify the association.

Congenital orofacial cleft, the most common birth defect in the maxillofacial region, exhibits a wide range of prognosis depending on the severity of deformity and underlying etiology. Non-syndromic congenital orofacial clefts typically present with milder deformities and more favorable treatment outcomes, whereas syndromic congenital orofacial clefts often manifest with concomitant organ abnormalities, which pose greater challenges for treatment and result in poorer prognosis. This consensus provides an elaborate classification system for varying degrees of orofacial clefts along with corresponding diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines.

Objective: Post-surgical lip symmetry assessment is a key indicator of cleft repair success. Traditional methods rely on distances between anatomical landmarks, which are impractical for video analysis and overlook texture and appearance. We propose an artificial intelligence (AI) approach to automate this process, analyzing lateral lip morphology for a quantitative symmetry evaluation.

Objectives: Orofacial cleft (OC) can be classified into syndromic orofacial cleft (SOC) and non-syndromic orofacial cleft (NSOC), depending on whether there are other congenital deformities. Craniosynostosis, the premature closure of cranial sutures, is a common phenotype of SOC resulting in abnormal ossification of skull and brain development disorders. Its correlation with OC offers a promising approach to identify susceptibility genes for NSOC by examining causative genes of SOCs with craniosynostosis.
