Abstract

The article discusses the importance of integrating genetics into the care of children born with cleft lip and palate (CLP). CLP is a common craniofacial anomaly that can have a significant impact on a child's life. The cause of CLP is not fully understood, but there is evidence of a genetic component. The article emphasizes the need for improved access to genetic evaluation and diagnostic testing, as well as the importance of merging research with clinical services. It also highlights the benefits of centralized care models and national registries in improving outcomes for children with CLP.
