Mutation and association analysis of the PVR and PVRL2 genes in patients with non-syndromic cleft lip and palate

Orofacial clefts (OFC; MIM 119530) are among the most common major birth defects. Here, we carried out mutation screening of the PVR and PVRL2 genes, which are both located at an OFC linkage region at 19q13 (OFC3) and are closely related to PVRL1, which has been associated with both syndromic and no...
