Ready for the 73rd Iowa Section of the AADOCR. Come see our work on Genomics and Epigenomics of Orofacial Clefts and Van der Woude Syndrome. #uiowadentistry #uiowaresearch #cleftlipandpalate #vanderwoude #cleftresearch #epigenetics #dnamethylation #aadocr #womeninscience

Laterality and Completeness Patterns of Nonsyndromic Clefts in a Multiethnic Cohort Objective: Orofacial clefts may involve the complete vertical thickness of the lip (complete) or partial thickness (incomplete). This study evaluates side preference for completeness in nonsyndromic a...

Our latest research is now available on MedRxiv. We examined laterality and completeness patterns in nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) across a multiethnic cohort. #uiowaresearch #laterality #cleftresearch #uiowadentistry

Methylation quantitative loci analysis in nonsyndromic orofacial clefts https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.09.25321494v1

Methylation quantitative loci analysis in nonsyndromic orofacial clefts Objectives: Nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (OFCs) etiology involves multiple genetic and environmental factors with over 60 identified risk loci; however, they account for a minority of the estimated r...

Multi-omic analyses of a twin pair with mirror image cleft lip identifies pathogenic variant in FGF20 modified by differential methylation upstream of ZFP57 Background Disturbances in the intricate processes that control craniofacial morphogenesis can result in birth defects, most common of which are orofacial clefts (OFCs). Nonsyndromic cleft lip (nsCL),...
