Altered regulation of cell migration in IRF6-mutated orofacial cleft patients-derived primary cells reveals a novel role of RhoGTPases in cleft/lip palate development
Published 2021“…Our results showed that there is no difference in viability of the VWS patient cells compared to healthy control cells. However, a significant decrease in the migratory and adhesion ability of the VWS patient cells was detected compared to the control, which could account for the phenotype. …”
