Goal: To provide a forum to share data on phenotypic features in cleft and craniofacial conditions.
Objective: Attendees will be able to identify three new phenotypic features in non-syndromic clefts.

EXPANDED PHENOTYPIC FEATURES IN NONSYNDROMIC OROFACIAL CLEFTS: PANEL DISCUSSION ON CLINICAL IMPLICATIONSMary L. Marazita, PhD, Alexandre R. Vieira, DDS, MS, PhD, Seth Weinberg, MA, Mark P. Mooney, PhD, Peggy Nopoulus, MD, Marilyn Jones, MD, Jeffrey C. Murray, MD The objective of this panel discussion is to provide a comprehensive review of several phenotypic features associated with nonsyndromic orofacial clefts. These features include orbicularis oris (OO) muscle defects, dental anomalies, craniofacial morphology, structural brain anomalies, lip print patterns, and velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI). During this 90 minute Panel Discussion, evidence for each of these phenotypic features will be reviewed, and then panelists will discuss the implications of expanded phenotypic features on clinical practice. |
