2. 16. Application of genetic analyses in studies of syndromic and non-syndromic cleft lip and palate

   Author : Fung Ki Wong; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Linkage analysis; cleft lip; cleft palate; van der Woude syndrome; popliteal pterygium syndrome; hyperthyroidism; candidate gene;

   Abstract : Linkage analysis is one of the first and essential steps in the localization of human disease genes. In this study, the method was first applied in mapping of the disease in two families with isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP) to the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome locus at 1q21-q32.

4. 17. Hearing in children with cleft palate

   Author : Birgitta Tengroth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Objective: The overall aim of this thesis was to collect longitudinal information about hearing thresholds and complications due to otitis media with effusion (OME) in children with cleft palate. Since OME is highly prevalent in children with cleft palate, many authors have hypothesized that the hearing loss associated to OME contributes to the delayed development of early speech and language often seen in these children.

5. 18. Speech and expressive language in Swedish-speaking children with unilateral cleft lip and palate

   Author : Kristina Klintö; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Introduction and aims: A cleft palate may hamper development of speech and expressive language. Expressive language, including phonology, has been sparsely explored in children with cleft lip and palate, and extended knowledge is essential in order to improve intervention for this patient group.

6. 19. Fetal Anomalies : Surveillance and Diagnostic Accuracy of Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

   Author : Hashem Amini; Ove Axelsson; Johan Wikström; Pelle Lindqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pregnancy termination; fetal anomalies; antenatal diagnosis; ultrasound; second trimester; fetal MRI; CNS anomalies; pregnancy management; non-CNS anomalies; fetal autopsy; birth defects registry; ascertainment; spina bifida; cleft lip palate; Obstetrics and women s diseases; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar; Obstetrics and gynaecology; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Abstract : The aims were to investigate the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosis of structural fetal anomalies with special focus on false positive findings (I), to evaluate the additional value of second trimester fetal MRI on pregnancy management (II-III) and to estimate the ascertainment in the Swedish Birth Defects Registry and incidence of spina bifida and cleft lip/palate (IV). Retrospectively, 328 fetal autopsies were identified where pregnancies were terminated due to ultrasonographically diagnosed fetal anomalies. READ MORE

7. 20. Genomic and dental investigations of individuals and families with non-syndromic cleft lip and/ or cleft palate, Van der Woude and popliteal pterygium syndromes

   Author : Marie Pegelow; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) is the most common oral cleft syndrome, accounting for two percent of all cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P) cases. The main characteristics of VWS are lip pits (LP), cleft lip (CL), cleft lip and palate (CLP), cleft palate (CP) and/or hypodontia (H). READ MORE
