Abstrakt: Background: Although more than 14 loci may be involved in the development of nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP), the etiology has not been fully elucidated due to genetic and environmental risk factor interactions. Despite advances in identifying genes associated with the NSCLP development using traditional genetic mapping strategies of candidate genes, genome-wide studies, and epidemiologic and linkage analysis, microarray techniques have become important complementary tools in the search for potential causative oral clefts genes in genetic studies. Microarray hybridization enables scanning of the whole genome and detecting copy number variants (CNVs). Although common benign CNVs are often smaller, with sizes smaller than 20 kb, here we reveal small exonic CNVs based on the importance of the encompassed genes in cleft lip and palate phenotype.
Methods: Microarray hybridization analysis was performed in 15 individuals with NSCLP.
Results: We identified 11 exonic CNVs affecting at least one exon of the candidate genes. Thirteen candidate genes (COL11A1-1p21; IRF6-1q32.3; MSX1-4p16.2; TERT-5p15.33; MIR4457-5p15.33; CLPTM1L-5p15.33; ESR1-6q25.1; GLI3-7p13; FGFR-8p11.23; TBX1-22q11.21; OFD-Xp22; PHF8-Xp11.22; and FLNA-Xq28) overlapped with the CNVs identified.
Conclusions: Considering the importance to NSCLP, the microdeletions that encompass MSX1, microduplications over TERT, MIR4457, CLPTM1L, and microduplication of PHF8 have been identified as small CNVs related to sequence variants associated with oral clefts susceptibility. Our findings represent a preliminary study on the clinical significance of small CNVs and their relationship with genes implicated in NSCLP.
