Objective: This present study is aimed to investigate the association between interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and nonsyndromic cleft lip without without cleft palate (NSCLP) in the South Indian population. Subject and Methods: For this study, 190 unrelated NSCLP patients and 189 controls without clefts were genotyped with rs2235371 (V2741) and rs642961 SNPs using PCR-RFLP. The associations between NSCLP groups and IRF6 gene polymorphisms, as well as haplotypes, were analyzed using chi-squared test and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) of the odds ratios were calculated with the control groups as reference. Results: For controls, the minor allele frequencies of both variants, V2741 and rs642961, were 7.1% and 21.1%, respectively. Genotype data for both variants in control and cleft groups follow the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. Between cases with NSCLP and controls, the two SNPs showed no differences in frequencies of the genotypes or alleles. The pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD) values (D’=1 and r2=0.027) between V2741 and rs642961 revealed that these two SNPs are not in strong LD. Haplotype G-T showed a significantly reduced risk for oral clefts (p<0.001) and haplotype A-T increased the risk for oral clefts (p=0.043). Gene-gene interaction showed that the higher risk group contains more GG-CC combination of cases that the controls, but this model was not significantly associated with cleft status (p=0.136) Conclusion: In conclusion, while IRF6 is strongly associated in other populations, this study demonstrated that variants in IRF6 may play a role in NSCLP in a South Indian population, but other genes are expected to play a role in this population as well.

AbstractQuadriceps femoris is an extensor muscle in the anterior compartment of thigh and is traditionally taught to be composed of four heads. Recently, there is an increased interest in the occurrence of an additional muscle head of quadriceps femoris. But scientific knowledge regarding its incidence is lacking in the South Indian population. This study was done to confirm the presence of the additional head by routine anatomic dissection and radiological imaging techniques. Forty-one formalin fixed human cadaveric lower limbs were dissected and the morphology of the additional head was noted. Retrospective analysis of 88 MRI images of patients was done. The additional muscle head was present in 43.9% of the cadaveric lower limbs and was consistently located between the vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius. It originated from variable portions of the greater trochanter, intertrochanteric line, lateral lip of linea aspera and lateral surface of the shaft of femur and inserted either as a muscle belly or as an aponeurosis into the vastus intermedius (55.6%), vastus lateralis (22.2%) or directly into the base of the patella. It received its vascular supply from branches of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and was innervated by branches from the posterior division of the femoral nerve. In addition, the additional muscle head was identified by MRI and its incidence was reported to be 30.68% for the first time in living subjects. The result of this study provides additional information in understanding the morphology of the quadriceps femoris muscle.
