Genetic risk factors for orofacial clefts in Central Africans and Southeast Asians
AssociationN=993Jane C. Figueiredo et al.(2014)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A

A targeted genome-wide study examining SNPs in three understudied populations (260 children with orofacial clefts from the DRC, Vietnam, and Philippines) confirmed four cleft susceptibility regions: 1q32.2 (IRF6), 10q25.3 (VAX1), 17q22 (NOG), and 15q13.3. Notable findings include rs10787738 near VAX1 (P=4.98E-03) and rs7987165 on chromosome 13 (P=2.2E-05) in meta-analysis, with risk alleles varying by population and no significant associations found in African populations.

About NTN1

Netrin is included in a family of laminin-related secreted proteins. The function of this gene has not yet been defined; however, netrin is thought to be involved in axon guidance and cell migration during development. Mutations and loss of expression of netrin suggest that variation in netrin may be involved in cancer development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
