| Research Abstract |
1) Approval o identification of the susceptibility genes for nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) was obtained in the ethics committees in Graduate School of Dental Science in Kyushu University and Graduate School of Medical and dental Sciences in Kagoshima University. Also approval of collaboration for identification of the susceptibility genes for CLP was obtained in the ethics committee in Harapan Kita Children and Maternity Hospital in Indonesia.
2) Correcting the blood samples from patient and parents was made in 113 trios after informed consent using protocol approved by the ethic committee. After selection of the multiples families with nonsyndromic CLP patients, the nail samples were corrected from 6 multiples families.
3) DNA extraction was made from the blood samples. Genotyping of each marker of the GABAA receptor gene and Fox2 gene was carried out by the direct sequencing and the pyro-sequencing method. Evaluation the associations between each marker and nonsyndromic CLP was continued by using the computational program. Furthermore, selecting the genomic markers on the susceptibility chromosomal regions supposed from latest was made on the samples extracted from multiples families in Harapan Kita Hospital.
4) On the familial cases of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, genotyping of each marker of MSX1, EVC, and EVC2 genes was carried out by the direct sequencing method. No mutation of EVC gene has been detected in the 6 Exons of all 22 Exons, and further studies will be continued.
5) Complicated malformation of cleft lip and palate was analyzed on 443 patients with CLP and facial cleft. Incidence complicated malformation was highest in facial cleft (70%), followed by submucous cleft palate (54.3%) and cleft palate (47.4%). They were found to be more frequent than CLA (15.3%) and CLP (18.4%).
