Abstract
Analysis of 1,516 pregnancies in sibships of probands with cleft lip with or without cleft palate [CL(P)], and 774 pregnancies in those of probands with isolated cleft palate (CP) indicated that fetal mortality significantly increases with liability to clefting. These data are compatible with the multifactorial two-threshold model, according to which a lower threshold level of liability results in a cleft formation whereas a higher level of liability causes a fetal death.
