Abstract
In a population of California infants with craniofacial defects, a novel polymorphism of the SKI gene was found to be associated with a decreased risk for orofacial defects. The function of this polymorphism and how it might confer protection to the embryo against craniofacial malformations is currently under investigation in our laboratory.
