This podcast co-moderated by JDR Editors, Drs. William Giannobile and Joy Richman discusses dental phenotypes associated with orofacial clefting from the study published  by Dr. Lina Moreno Uribe and co-workers. The interview dispels previously held views that dental anomalies are caused by the same genes as the clefts.
