Oral Clefts

Objective: Nonsyndromic oral clefts are common craniofacial anomalies classified into two subgroups: cleft lip with or without cleft palate and isolated cleft palate. Nonsyndromic oral clefts are multifactorial diseases, with both genetic and environmental factors involved in their pathogenesis. The inhibitory neurotransmitter, γ-aminobutyric acid plays a role in normal embryonic, and particularly facial, development and γ-aminobutyric acid receptor type A β-3 subunit (GABRB3) knockout mice have been shown to have cleft palate. The GABRB3 gene is therefore a strong candidate gene for nonsyndromic oral clefts. We investigated here whether genetic variations of the GABRB3 gene affect the risk for nonsyndromic oral clefts. Method: In this case-control study, a total of 178 Japanese patients with cleft lip with or without cleft palate and 374 unrelated controls were recruited and were genotyped for six single nucleotide polymorphisms and a dinucleotide repeat marker of the GABRB3 gene. Results: None of the single nucleotide polymorphisms showed complete linkage disequilibrium with other single nucleotide polymorphisms. In a case-control association study with the six-locus haplotype of the gene, TGTGCT haplotype frequency in patients with cleft lip with or without cleft palate was significantly higher than in the controls (corrected p value = .029). None of the alleles of the dinucleotide repeat marker showed significant association with cleft lip with or without cleft palate. Conclusions: Our data suggest that the GABRB3 gene is involved in the pathogenesis of cleft lip with or without cleft palate in the Japanese population.

Control Study

Objective The RYK, EPHB2, and EPHB3 genes are attractive candidates for cleft lip and/or palate and cleft palate only pathogenesis. Both the Ryk-deficient mouse and Ephb2/Ephb3 (genes for interaction molecules with RYK) double-mutant mouse show cleft palate. Setting Mutation searches for RYK, EPHB2, and EPHB3 were carried out in a large number of Japanese and Vietnamese patients with cleft lip and/or palate and cleft palate only. Case-control study and transmission disequilibrium tests were performed also, using three single nucleotide polymorphisms within a linkage disequilibrium block in RYK. Seven haplotypes were constructed from the single nucleotide polymorphisms. Results A missense mutation, 1355G>A (Y452C), in RYK was identified in one Vietnamese patient with cleft lip and/or palate. This mutation was not found among 1646 Vietnamese, Japanese, and Caucasians, including 354 cleft lip and/ or palate and cleft palate only patients. Colony formation assay using NIH3T3 cells transfected with mutant cDNA revealed that mutant RYK had significantly reduced protein activity, compared with those with wild-type RYK, implying that the transformation ability of RYK is depleted by this mutation. Although a case-control study and transmission disequilibrium tests on three individual single nucleotide polymorphisms provided no evidence for association with oral clefts, a case-control study on one rare haplotype suggested a positive association in Japanese patients with cleft lip and/or palate and cleft palate only. No mutations in EPHB2 and EPHB3 were found in any patients examined. Conclusion The findings suggested that a missense mutation, 1355G>A, and one rare single nucleotide polymorphisms haplotype may play a role in the development of cleft lip and/or palate in the Vietnamese, and cleft lip and/ or palate and cleft palate only in the Japanese.
