Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to its aetiology. G protein-coupled estrogen receptor-1 (GPER-1) is a membrane receptor involved in cellular proliferation, migration, and embryonic development. This study aimed to compare serum GPER-1 levels between children with cleft palate and healthy controls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This prospective controlled study included 20 children aged 0 to 3 years. The cleft palate group consisted of 10 patients with complete or incomplete cleft palate, while the control group included 10 healthy children without cleft palate, craniofacial anomalies, or known systemic disease. Venous blood samples were collected, centrifuged, and stored at \u221220\u00b0C until analysis. Serum GPER-1 levels were measured using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 20.0. Normality was assessed with the Shapiro-Wilk test.
