Abstract
Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are a usually inherited anomaly described as a gap in the oral cavity's upper lip and/or roof. The etiology of CLP involves both genetic and environmental factors. The current study aimed to examine the genetic basis of nonsyndromic (NS) CLP (NSCL/P) and its association with specific genetic polymorphisms. We conducted a meta-analysis and systematic review of seven articles, which provided information on the correlation between genes and NSCL/P risk.
Our results proved that the MTHFR c.677C > T polymorphism was correlated with the risk of NSCL/P, favoring the control group in the CC genotype and the cases group in the CT genotype. The TT genotype favored the control group. Additionally, the MTHFD1 1958G > A polymorphism was correlated with the high NSCL/P risk in children. However, the MTHFR C677T polymorphism did not show a significant correlation with NSCL/P risk in the analysis, although it was correlated with the high risk in specific populations.
These results contribute to our knowledge about the genetic causes of NSCL/P and highlight the importance of specific genetic polymorphisms in its development. Further research is needed to explore the genetic mechanisms underlying NSCL/P in different populations and to elucidate its implications for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
