Syndromic Forms of Clefting and Other Birth Defects
In addition to the major non-syndromic cleft lip and palate study, Dr. Lidral and his lab also study or collaborate with other researchers on a few specific syndromes. These include:
- Otopalatodigital syndrome Type 1 and 2 (OMIM # 311300)
- Chromosome abnormalities causing clefting or other craniofacial differences
- Craniofrontonasal Dysplasia (OMIM # 304110) or Frontonasal Dysplasia (OMIM # 305645)
- Hypodontia or congenitally missing teeth (OMIM # 106600 or OMIM GENE # 142983)
- Frontometaphyseal Dysplasia (OMIM # 305620)
- Melnick-Needles syndrome (OMIM # 309350)
- Vertebral Hypersegmentation
Large families with many affected people work best for these syndrome studies. Please contact Amy M. Mach for more information regarding each study.
