  • Title: [Cleft lip and palate. Epidemiologic analysis: report of 60 cases].
    Author: Mcheik JN, Lacombe D, Bondonny JM, Vergnes P.
    Journal: Ann Chir Plast Esthet; 2000 Aug; 45(4):425-9. PubMed ID: 10989519.
    Abstract:
    The authors reviewed 60 cases of cleft lip and palate between November 1996 and May 1998. Any family history of cleft lip and palate and associated syndromes was noted, to detect a possible mode of transmission. A family history of cleft lip and palate was reported in 14 cases (23%). Possible autosomal dominant transmission was observed in this series. A syndromic form was observed in eight cases (13%), with one case of Van der Woude's Syndrome (VWS), and another of velo-cardiofacial Syndrome (VCFS). Molecular and chromosomal studies are indicated in both cases. A Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) was found in six cases.
