The study models of a group of adult Sri Lankan patients with clefts of the secondary palate were investigated. Tooth-size and arch-dimension comparisons were made with a comparable control group. Significant differences were found between the cleft and control groups in tooth sizes, chord lengths, and arch widths. The cleft group dimensions were generally smaller than those of the control group. Overjets were larger in the cleft group.

Aims: Clopidogrel exhibits substantial variability in therapeutic response, largely contributed by genetic factors. The pharmacogenomic variants data on clopidogrel metabolism in South Asians have been sparsely studied. This study explores the impact of and gene variants on clopidogrel metabolism in Sri Lankans, revealing significant pharmacogenomic insights with broader implications for South Asians.
