Incidence of cleft lip and palate in Tehran

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the epidemiology and some of the possible risk factors causing oral cleft in Tehran. The study was a 7-year retrospective study from March 1998 to March 2005. Twenty-five live births with cleft lip and/or palate (CL+/-P) were born between 20 March 1998 and 20 March 2005 from the total of 11,651 live births in a maternity hospital in Tehran.

“…22 There were 246 cases of cleft patients seen at out unit from 2006 to 2009; 15 of which (6.1%) had a history (6.7%) with isolated CL. Stoll 26 and Jamilian et al 25 found lower rates for CL, as was the case in our sample. Some studies have suggested that unilateral CLP (left or right) are more frequent that bilateral CLP.…”

A study on the presence of congenital anomalies in children of consanguineous marriages found a significant association between first degree consanguinity and anomalies such as cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, physical retardation, congenital blindness, and NSCLP.…”

“…The highest incidence rate was found in Native Americans as 3.74 per 1000, followed by Japanese subjects as 3.36 per 1000 live births. 5,6 Cleft lip occurs more common in male than female whereas cleft palate occurs more commonly in female than in male reason for this is that fusion of the palatine shelves 1 week later in girls than in boys is thought thus it could be one of factor contributing in higher frequency of cleft palate in girls. 3,7 Indian being the second most populous country of world with population of 1.21 billion, it is estimated that 24.5 million births per year and the birth prevalence of clefts is somewhere between 27,000 and 33,000 clefts per year.…”
