Study genes in cleft lip or palate without a known cause
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks for genetic reasons behind cleft lip and/or cleft palate when the cause is not known. The results may help researchers understand risk factors and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a cleft lip and/or cleft palate (NSCL/P or CL/P).
- Your cleft’s cause has not been identified yet (unknown etiology).
- You are covered by national health care insurance.
- If your cleft’s cause is already known, you likely cannot join.
- If you have a specific IRF6 gene mutation along with NSCL/P, you likely cannot join.

This study looks at how well early orthopedic treatment works for babies born with cleft lip and/or palate before they have surgery. It may help improve treatment plans and outcomes.
This study looks at genetic (inherited) causes of certain hormone and reproductive conditions, including Kallmann syndrome and cleft lip/palate. You might be asked for medical and family history and possibly a DNA sample, helping researchers find what drives these conditions.
This trial is part of a quality-improvement and research program for people with typical facial clefts. It aims to help improve how care is organized and measured across treatment centers, which may benefit future patients and help your team deliver coordinated care.
This study looks at whether a presurgery orthodontic shaping method affects how newborns with a cleft lip and palate grow over time. It may help clinicians decide on the best early treatment approach.
This study tests how consistently and clearly a questionnaire (CLEFT-Q) measures your symptoms and how well treatment helps. It may help researchers improve care for people who need a planned second surgery for the nose, lips, jaw, or speech.
This trial tests a new treatment called BIOCLEFT, made from your child's own cheek cells, to help repair a complete cleft palate on one side. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and works better than standard surgery.
