由瑞典卡罗林斯卡研究所的研究人员带领的一个国际团队,发现了一个与Van derWoude综合征(VWS,是最常见的唇腭裂综合征)有关的新基因。这项研究成果,发表在12月19日的国际著名期刊《American Journal of Human Genetics》杂志上,可以开辟一条改进唇腭裂家系和个人遗传诊断法的途径。唇腭裂是一种最常见的出生缺陷,可以唇裂或腭裂其中一种形式单独出现,也可以唇裂和腭裂两种形式共同出现。它们能够与其它畸形一起发生,形成一种综合征。有超过350种唇腭裂综合征,其中Van der Woude综合征最为常见。已有研究表
An international team led by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden found a new gene linked to the Van derWoude syndrome (VWS, the most common cleft lip and palate syndrome). The research, published in the December 19 issue of the internationally acclaimed journal American Journal of Human Genetics, opens the way for improved pedigree and personal genetic diagnosis of cleft lip and palate. Cleft lip and palate is one of the most common birth defects, either cleft lip or cleft palate in one form alone, but also cleft lip and cleft palate both forms together. They can occur with other deformities to form a syndrome. There are more than 350 kinds of cleft lip and palate syndrome, of which Van der Woude syndrome is the most common. Existing research table
