Orofacial Clefting

1
Orofacial clefts are dened as a failure to either completely merge or fuse in developing embry­onic facial and palatal processes [1]. Cleft lip and palate can occur isolated or as part of a genetic syndrome and are also commonly associated with other systemic malformations. Affected children suffer a range of medical problems that include feeding difculties at birth, swallowing, and nasal regurgitation, hearing difculties due to abnormalities in the palatal musculature and speech difculties due to nasal escape and articu­lation problems. Orofacial clefts have a long­term, adverse inuence on the well-being and social integration of affected individuals in soci­ety [2, 3].
However, cleft care organizations can signi­cantly reduce the burden of parents by providing cleft care to the affected children [4]. Further, children who receive successful treatment can potentially serve to reduce stigma within their communities [5]. Prenatal diagnosis not only
aids in counseling and sensitizing couples to oral clefts but also paves the way for providing timely and affordable cleft care.
ciencies and exposure to medications and teratogens in early pregnancy are known etio­logical factors for CLP. Maternal exposure to tobacco products, alcohol, and viral infections in early pregnancy is the other common envi­ronmental factor [6]. Moreover, consanguinity and positive family history for orofacial clefts also play a role [7, 8].
To date, more than 100 genes have been asso­ciated with facial clefts, but the underlying mech­anisms of these associations remain poorly understood. Genes responsible for growth factors (e.g., TGFα, TGFβ3), transcription factors (e.g., TBX22), factors inuencing xenobiotic metabo­lism, nutrient metabolism and immune response are known to have a role. Chromosomal regions that were commonly associated with clefting involved deletions and duplications at 1q25, 3p21, 4p15, 4q32, and 10p15. The exact genetic association in nonsyndromic orofacial clefts remains poorly characterized [911].

Cleft palate alone has an incidence of about 1in 1500 to 1in 2000, and this is the group that is often missed in prenatal screening. For every
