Cleft Lip and/or Palate
Many cases of cleft lip and/or palate occur as an isolated defect. However, some cases are caused by an underlying chromosome abnormality or genetic condition.
In the absence of a known genetic cause, genetic testing for non-affected, close relatives is unavailable. Other types of testing may be available on a case by case basis.
Further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional may be warranted. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.
