Genetic Pathway Analysis of Abnormal Facial Development In Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and Palate
<p>Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCLP) is the most common craniofacial birth defect resulting from incomplete fusion of the facial prominences during development, which leaves a gap in the lip, primary palate and/or the secondary palate. NSCLP affects 135,000 NSCLP newborns …

Facial Asymmetry and Social Functioning in Children and Adolescents with Cleft Lip and/or Palate
BACKGROUND: While orofacial clefts may affect the facial appearance of children and adolescents with this condition, research has yet to examine the impact of facial difference on social functioning in this population. Characteristics of facial appearance, such as symmetry, are important in social …
