Folic acid cuts risk of cleft lip
Taking folic acid supplements in early pregnancy seems to substantially reduce the risk of cleft lip. view more (2007-01-29)
First trimester smoking linked to oral clefts
Smoking during the first trimester of pregnancy is clearly linked with an increased risk of cleft lip in newborns. view more (2008-12-18)
New genetic mutations found that may cause cleft lip/palate
University of Iowa researchers and collaborators have identified new genetic mutations that likely cause the common form of cleft lip and palate. view more (2007-03-06)
Study finds genetic variant plays role in cleft lip
University of Iowa researchers and collaborators have found, in a previously identified gene, a variation that likely contributes to one in five cases of isolated cleft lip. view more (2008-10-07)
Cleft lip and palate: Genes more important than thought?
Comparing 500,000 snippets of human DNA put scientists from the University of Bonn on the right track. A genetic variant on chromosome 8 occurs with significantly higher frequency in people with cleft lip and palate than in the control group. The results are to be published in the forthcoming issue of the journal Nature Genetics. view more (2009-03-09)
Moms' smoking linked to increased risk of birth defects
Babies whose mothers smoked during pregnancy were more than twice as likely to have a cleft palate or lip as those whose mothers didn't, according to research results released today. view more (2008-11-05)
Folic acid may prevent cleft lip and palate
A new study finds that women who take folic acid supplements early in their pregnancy can substantially reduce their baby's chances of being born with a facial cleft. view more (2007-01-29)
National statistics for 18 major birth defects released
Cleft lip is a treatable birth defect, but for the families of the estimated 6,800 U.S. infants born with one, it's a heartbreaking experience - not only because of the associated health problems, but because friends and family may ignore the condition or because of social stigma associated with facial defects. view more (2006-01-06)
Genetic profile reveals susceptibility to cleft palate
For the first time, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine have identified a series of genetic mutations that appear to be linked to significant risk for cleft palate and other dental abnormalities. view more (2008-09-16)
Research could lead to new treatments for birth defects
Pioneering new research into cleft lip and palate could open the door to babies with certain craniofacial disorders being successfully treated in the womb. view more (2006-10-16)
Gene involved in common birth defect also regulates skin biology
Following up on an earlier discovery that a gene called IRF6 is involved in the common birth defect cleft lip and palate. view more (2006-10-16)
Researchers discover gene for branchio-oculo-facial syndrome
In a collaborative effort, researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have discovered that deletions or mutations within the TFAP2A gene (Activating Enhancer-Binding Protein) result in the distinctive clefting disorder Branchio-Oculo-Facial syndrome (BOFS). view more (2008-04-24)
Research shows timing improves cleft palate surgery
Research by Dr. Damir Matic, a scientist with Lawson Health Research Institute in London, Ontario is changing the way cleft palate surgeries are performed throughout North America and around the world. Matic has been conducting research to determine the optimal time to close the gum tissue of cleft palate patients. His research suggests that it is... view more... (2008-05-13)
Oregon researchers discover a mechanism leading to cleft palate
By creating a genetic mutation in zebrafish, University of Oregon scientists say they've discovered a previously unknown mechanism for cleft palate, a common birth defect in humans that has challenged medical professionals for centuries. view more (2008-02-12)
USC researchers identify alternate pathway that leads to palate development
Researchers at the University Of Southern California School Of Dentistry have uncovered another clue behind the causes of cleft palate and the process that leads to palate formation. view more (2008-08-11)
WHO centre calls for global action on cleft palate
A global research network is needed if scientists are ever going to understand and prevent cleft palate, say experts at the first World Health Organization Collaborating Centre set up to develop such a structure. view more (2005-05-11)
Gene offers new lead in cleft lip and palate research
Researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health report in the current issue of the journal Science that a much-studied gene called SUMO1, when under expressed, can cause cleft lip and palate, one of the world's most common birth defects. view more (2006-09-22)
Read my lips: Not all fillers are safe for lip augmentation, rejuvenation
Lip augmentation is not just for women who want larger, sexier lips. As people age, their lips lose fullness which makes them appear older. view more (2006-10-09)
Standard scuba diving mouthpieces potentially hazardous
Standard design mouthpieces used by scuba divers are potentially hazardous, finds a study from Newcastle and Dundee Dental Schools in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. The design has changed little since the 1940s, when scuba equipment was first introduced. The use of these mouthpieces may result in vertigo and disorientation, both of which... view more...
