Abstract
This article is an outcome of the African Craniofacial Anomalies Research Network (AfriCRAN) Human Hereditary and Health (H3A) grant planning meeting in 2012 in Lagos, Nigeria. It describes the strengths of a multidisciplinary team approach to solving complex genetic traits in the craniofacial region. It also highlights the different components and argues for the composition of similar teams to fast track the discovery of disease genes, diagnostic tools, improved clinical treatment and ultimately prevention of diseases.

In Africa, craniofacial disparity is being addressed by studying orofacial clefts through the African Craniofacial Anomalies Research Network (AfriCRAN)
Summary
As we gradually and deliberately move towards the era of personalized medicine, it is important to understand the diversity that exists in the human genome. Abstract This article is an outcome of the African Craniofacial Anomalies Research Network (AfriCRAN) Human Hereditary and Health (H3A) grant planning meeting in 2012 in Lagos, Nigeria. Genomic studies in Africa is witnessing the best of times with the establishment of the Human , Hereditary and Health Africa (H3A) initiative supported by the NIH and Welcome Trust.
