Cleft lip with or without palate (CL±P) is common congenital anomalies in humans. Experimental evidence has demonstrated that bone morphogenetic protein 4 gene (Bmp4) is involved in the etiology of CL±P in animal models.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of BMP4 gene in CL±P in Brazilian ...[more]
