Identification of common non-coding variants at 1p22 that are functional for non-syndromic orofacial clefting

Many genetic variants have been associated with complex congenital disorders, but their function is not always clear. Here, the authors develop a pipeline to functionally characterize such variants, and show potential roles for three SNPs in non-syndromic cleft lip and palate.
