Associated craniofacial conditions

What Causes Cleft Lip and Palate?

Cleft lip and palate formation is typically the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors:

Genetic Factors: About 30% of cleft cases are associated with genetic syndromes. Children with a family history of clefts have a higher risk.
Environmental Factors: Maternal smoking, certain medications, diabetes, and nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy may increase risk.
Folic Acid Deficiency: Inadequate folic acid during early pregnancy has been linked to increased cleft risk.
Multifactorial Inheritance: Most cases result from an interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental triggers.
