  • Title: X-linked cleft palate.
    Author: Lowry RB.
    Journal: Birth Defects Orig Artic Ser; 1971 Jun; 7(7):76-9. PubMed ID: 5173246.
    Abstract:
    Cleft lip with or without cleft palate is twice as frequent among Indians of British Columbia as among non-Indians, although the reverse is the case whenever we consider isolated cleft palate. A family is described with 12 affected males. Close examination of this family revealed that the most likely explanation for the cleft palate was an X-linked recessive gene. It is concluded that isolated cleft palate among the Indians of British Columbia is an extremely rare anomaly.
