Pitt Researcher To Co-Direct National Consortium On Facial Birth DefectsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Iowa will lead a $9 million, five-year initiative to study the cause of facial birth defects. The FaceBase Consortium will create an encyclopedic database of how the faces of children develop and what goes wrong to cause malformations. FaceBase will build a list of the genes and proteins that drive embryonic cell differentiation around the forming mouth. (Source: Cleft Palate News From Medical News Today)

Bonn Scientists Discover Gene Locus Associated With Cleft Lip And PalateEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
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. Cleft lips and palates are among the most frequent innate abnormalities. One in about 700 babies in Central Europe are affected. (Source: Cleft Palate News From Medical News Today)

Increased Prevalence Of Left-Handedness In Children With Facial Development DisorderEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A new study by physician researchers from Hasbro Children's Hospital and Children's Hospital Boston has identified an increased prevalence in left-handedness in children with a congenital disorder known as hemifacial microsomia (HFM). The study was published in the March 2009 edition of the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery. Overall, ten percent of the population is left-handed. (Source: Cleft Palate News From Medical News Today)

Alternate Pathway That Leads To Palate DevelopmentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
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. Cleft palate is one of the most common congenital birth defects, occurring in one out of every 700 live births. Clefts are more common in children of American Indian, Hispanic or Asian descent. While males are twice as likely to have a cleft lip, females are twice as likely to have a cleft palate. (Source: Cleft Palate News From Medical News Today)

Research Findings Change The Way Doctors Perform Cleft Palate SurgeryEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
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 best to wait until the child is older.

New method to fix cleft palate shows promise in Mayo Clinic lab studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Results from a Mayo Clinic laboratory study in animals suggest that using distraction osteogenesis, a procedure that uses the mechanical force of an appliance to lengthen soft tissue and bone, may be a feasible and effective method to repair cleft palate in the future. Cleft palate is a common birth defect in which a child is born with a gap in the roof of the mouth. This condition occurs in one out of 700 to 1,000 births in the United States.
