Abstract
Background: How Fgfr1 mutations cause cleft palate is unclear. Results: Deleting Fgfr1 in neural crest cells caused defects in both palate shelf epithelium and mesenchyme and led to cleft palate. Conclusion: FGFR1 signaling in cranial neural crest (CNC) cells regulates palate shelf growth and fusion during palatogenesis. Significance: The finding for the first time demonstrates how FGF signaling in CNC cells regulates palatogenesis.
