Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P, MIM 119530) is among the most common of major birth defects. Homozygosity for a nonsense mutation of PVRL1, W185X, results in an autosomal… Expand
Mutations of PVRL1, encoding a cell-cell adhesion molecule/herpesvirus receptor, in cleft lip/palate-ectodermal dysplasia
Cleft lip, with or without cleft palate (CL/P), is one of the most common birth defects, occurring in 0.4 to 2.0 per 1,000 infants born alive. Approximately 70% of CL/P cases are non-syndromic (MIM… Expand
