Embryologically Based Classification Specifies Gender Differences in the Prevalence of Orofacial Cleft Subphenotypes.

CONCLUSIONS: Orofacial cleft in females mainly occur in the L-period are mostly S-palatal clefts, and are usually the result of an F-defect. Orofacial cleft in males more commonly occur in the EL-periods, are therefore more often combined PS-palatal clefts, and are more frequent D- and FD-defects.
