Genetic Research in Cleft Lip and Palate

Genetic research in cleft lip and palate aims to identify the genes and genetic factors that contribute to these conditions. By studying families, DNA samples, and using advanced techniques, scientists seek to understand how inherited traits influence the development of facial structures. This research helps pinpoint specific genes involved, revealing how genetic and environmental factors interact. Ultimately, insights from this work can improve early diagnosis, inform prevention strategies, and guide personalized treatments, advancing our understanding of how genetics play a role in these congenital conditions.
