Genetic study for cleft lip and palate in Egypt
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks for a specific genetic change in Egyptian patients with cleft lip (with or without cleft palate) that is not part of a larger syndrome. It may help understand why some clefts happen.

Who can take part
- You have a cleft lip (or cleft lip and palate) that is not part of a known syndrome.
- You are of Egyptian descent.
- You do not have any other major birth defects or developmental delays linked to a syndrome.

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.
This study uses a new genetic test called Optical Genome Mapping to look for hidden genetic causes of cleft lip or palate that are syndromic, complex, or run in families. It may help find answers for people who haven't gotten a genetic diagnosis yet.
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.
