Conservation of transcriptional regulatory networks in zebrafish and human periderm facilitates identification of GRHL1 as an orofacial cleft risk gene

Sunil Kumar Singh, Annika Helverson, Colin Kenny…·Robert A. Cornell

The paper identifies GRHL1 as an orofacial cleft risk gene by analyzing conserved transcriptional regulatory networks between zebrafish and human periderm using single-cell multiome sequencing and functional validation.
