Multi-omic analyses of a twin pair with mirror image cleft lip identifies pathogenic variant in FGF20 modified by differential methylation upstream of ZFP57 Background Disturbances in the intricate processes that control craniofacial morphogenesis can result in birth defects, most common of which are orofacial clefts (OFCs). Nonsyndromic cleft lip (nsCL),...
