Abstract:

As the most prevalent congenital craniofacial developmental anomalies, non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC) are complex polygenic disorders arising from the interplay of genetic susceptibility, environmental exposures, and gene-environment interactions. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with NSOC risk. However, individual variants exhibit limited clinical utility for risk prediction due to their modest effect sizes. The polygenic risk score (PRS) aggregates the effects of SNP to provide disease-related risk information, which has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in disease prediction across various complex disorders. However, its application to NSOC remains in its infancy. This study reviews the advancements in PRS methodologies for predicting NSOC risk and discusses the current challenges and future directions for PRS development in this field.

Key words: Polygenic risk score, Non-syndromic orofacial clefts, Genome-wide association studies, Risk prediction
