Mutations in sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain of TP63 have been reported to be associated with ankyloblepharon‐ectodermal dysplasia‐cleft lip/palate syndrome and Rapp‐Hodgkin syndrome. SAM domain, a protein–protein interaction module, is found in cytoplasmic signaling proteins and several transcriptional regulatory proteins which are involved in development and differentiation. Here, we report on a SAM domain mutation (p.Asp564His) in TP63 that predisposed the patients to have nonsyndromic cleft palate and nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
