Lack of mutations in the PVRL3 gene in North American caucasians with non-syndromic cleft lip/palate

Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CLP) is one of the most common birth defects. In about 70% of cases, CLP occurs as an isolated anomaly, denoted non-syndromic CLP (nsCLP). Genetic linkage and association studies have implicated many loci in susceptibility to nsCLP, including some members of t...
