Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are common birth defects including cleft lip, cleft lip and palate, and cleft palate. OFCs have heterogeneous etiologies, complicating clinical diagnostics because it is not always apparent if the cause is Mendelian, environmental, or multifactorial. Sequencing is not currently performed for isolated or sporadic OFCs; therefore, we estimated the diagnostic yield for 418 genes in 841 cases and 294 controls.
