    Abstract ( 308 )   PDF (1613KB) ( 305 )  
    Orofacial clefting is the most common craniofacial birth defect and has a strong genetic underpinning.Genome-wide association studies have detected common variants associated with this disorder, most of which lie in the non-coding DNA segments.However, due to poor understanding on the connection between the sequence and function of non-coding DNA during human craniofacial development, how these associated variants increase the risk of orofacial clefting remain largely unknown, which is a major challenge to the translation of genetic results into clinical practice.This article aims to give a systematic introduction to craniofacial functional genome results and their integration with machine learning in order to propose an improved research system for orofacial-clefting-associated non-coding variants.
