This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $645,034 to the University of Pittsburgh to leverage whole genome sequencing and functional genomic characterization to improve gene discovery for non-syndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP). The key objectives are to: (1) integrate gene- and variant-based analyses to determine the genetic architecture underlying familial NSCLP, (2) perform functional analysis to screen prioritized variants using cell-based assays, and (3) assess the impact of prioritized variants on phenotypic changes in zebrafish embryos. The awarded 5-year project period runs from May 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030 and aims to advance the understanding of the biological mechanisms leading to NSCLP, informing improved risk assessment and genetic counseling in clinical practice.
