IRF6 Genetic Variation and Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy in Cleft Lip/Palate
The goal of the present work was to revisit published data to test if genetic variation in interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6) is associated with children born with cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) for cases with positive history of maternal smoking. From the 573 individuals originall...
