Genetic determinants of facial clefting: analysis of 357 candidate genes using two national cleft studies from Scandinavia.

<h4>Background</h4>Facial clefts are common birth defects with a strong genetic component. To identify fetal genetic risk factors for clefting, 1536 SNPs in 357 candidate genes were genotyped in two population-based samples from Scandinavia (Norway: 562 case-parent and 592 control-parent...
