INTRODUCTION.
Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (orofacial cleft) is a complex disease with a wide phenotypic spectrum ranging from notches of the vermilion and/or grooves in the philtrum to complete unilateral and bilateral clefts of the lip and palate.
Isolated cleft lip with or without cleft palate (orofacial cleft) is genetically heterogeneous. The orofacial cleft (OFC1) locus has been mapped to cytogenetic location 6p24.3 and genomic coordinates 6:7,100,001-10,600,000. The screenshot the OFC1 gene 3,500,000 bp (base pairs) of DNA sequence length is shown BELOW. Nine (9) other genes besides OFC1 in the 6p24.3 cytogenetic location are listed BENEATH.
