- Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are common craniofacial malformations broadly classified as syndromic or non-syndromic. While syndromic OFCs are often caused by rare, high-impact variants, non-syndromic OFCs are typically associated with multiple low-impact common variants. However, growing evidence suggests that rare variants may also contribute to non-syndromic OFCs. To explore this, we performed exome sequencing in 45 individuals from 20 Colombian families, predominantly from the Caribbean region, a genetically distinct and underrepresented population. Our goal was to identify rare variants potentially contributing to both syndromic and non-syndromic OFCs. We identified 15 rare protein-altering variants in 11 families that showed strong phenotype-genotype concordance. Four probands carried a previously reported common ACSS2 variant (c.1487 T > C), with two probands also harbouring variants in Pleckstrin Homology Domain Containing (PLEKH) genes. Five variants were previously reported in ClinVar (two with conflicting interpretations, one pathogenic, and two of uncertain significance), while ten were novel. Variants were found in known OFC-associated genes (MID1, FLNA, FGF10) and emerging candidates (ZFHX4, PLEKHA5, PLEKHA7). These findings provide further evidence that rare variants in developmental and signalling pathways contribute to both syndromic and non-syndromic OFCs, reinforcing previous studies and expanding the catalogue of candidate genes in underrepresented populations. - Source: PubMed

A comprehensive understanding of the genetic and regulatory mechanisms underlying milk fat synthesis is therefore essential for advancing dairy breeding and productivity. - Source: PubMed
