- Abstract
The role of neural crest cells and the homeobox genes in the development of craniofacial development has been a topic of research which is now directing us towards a genetic control in the patterning of the craniofacial region. These genes with their genetic domination over the development and the patterning of the head and facial region, in fact, are found to be the regulators and thus the master genes of the head and face. This review article gives an overview of the role of neural crest cells and homeobox genes in the development of the craniofacial complex.
