Lay summary

The Cleft Collective Cohort Studies investigates the biological and environmental causes of cleft, the best treatments for cleft and the psychological impact of cleft on those affected and their families. With the help of every cleft team in the UK, up to 3,500 children and their families will be recruited into the study.

Public benefit statement

We hope to find evidence for some of the underlying mechanisms and pathways that contribute to the development of cleft in children and the effects of maternal genetics on development of the foetus.
