Differential methylation is associated with non-syndromic cleft lip and palate and contributes to penetrance effects

Abstract Non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCLP) is a common congenital malformation with a multifactorial model of inheritance. Although several at-risk alleles have been identified, they do not completely explain the high heritability. We postulate that epigenetic factors as DNA methylation...
