Genetic Associations of Oral Clefts in Arabs
CONCLUSIONS: Genetic variations are associated with the occurrence of oral clefts. Customized Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) panel to the Arab ethnicity is encouraged. In Addition, national preconception genetic carrier screening tests should expand to include common craniofacial anomalies.PMID:38343026 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231219433 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Detecting Gene-Gene Interaction among DNA Repair Genes in Chinese non-Syndromic Cleft lip with or Without Palate Trios
CONCLUSIONS: The current study identified gene-gene interactions among DNA repair genes in 806 Chinese NSCL/P trios, providing additional evidence for the complicated genetic structure underlying NSCL/P. ATR, ERCC4, XRCC3, TYMS and RFC1 were suggested to be possible candidate genes for NSCL/P.PMID:38303570 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241228124 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

12-Year Trends of Orofacial Clefts in the United States: Highlighting Racial/Ethnic Differences in Prevalence of Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate
CONCLUSIONS: Across the total population, there was no significant change in estimated orofacial cleft prevalence. However, there were significant disproportions in estimated orofacial cleft prevalence across racial/ethnic groups, which may guide further discussion among craniofacial health care providers and centers and their patients regarding differences in cleft risk factors.PMID:38291621 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241227033 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Validity of the Cleft Aesthetic Rating Scale Does Not Improve with Inclusion of Fixed Scores for Atypical Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: No significant difference was found between the original and modified ICC of the nose and lip. The implementation of the fixed rates did not result in an increased reliability of the CARS. Therefore, we recommend the utilization of the original CARS.PMID:38238939 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231221657 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Maternal Exposure to Stress During Covid-19 and Non-Syndromic Orofacial Clefts: A Cohort Retrospective Study
CONCLUSION: Along with an established risk associated with family history of birth defects, stressful life events may be a risk factor for NSOFC development. Beyond folic acid's known benefit, it may be that higher maternal health concerns contribute to increased protective health behaviors during pregnancy. Ongoing research is needed to specify the maternal risk factors for NSOFC.PMID:38239006 | DOI:10.1177/10556656231224198 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Hospital Variation and Resource Use for Infants with Craniosynostosis Undergoing Open, Endoscopic, and Distraction Osteogenesis Surgical Techniques
CONCLUSIONS: Substantial variation in the surgical approach for craniosynostosis exists across hospitals and regions. Endoscopic repair without distraction had the lowest hospital resource use, while open repair with distraction had the highest hospital resource. Subsequent analysis of short- and long-term outcomes as well as patient-and-family costs is necessary to assess the true cost-effectiveness of each approach.PMID:38239039 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241227032 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)
