“…7 The incidence of cleft lip and/or cleft palate has been reported to vary from 0.4 to 3.0/1000 births, with the lowest incidence reported among Africans. [7][8][9][10][11]17 Isolated cleft lip may be unilateral (left side 70% and right side 30%) or bilateral.…”

“…Bmp4 is an essential regulator of facial primordial outgrowth and lip fusion, as discussed above. Differences in facial shape, such as slight changes in the shape of the medial and lateral nasal processes during facial development, has been proposed to be a threshold factor underlying CLP in the A/WySn and CL/Fr strains of mice (Millicovsky et al, 1982;Trasler and Ohannessian, 1983) and may account for the different frequencies of CLP in different human populations (Fraser and Pashayan, 1970). Considering the complexity involving the interactions and integration of signaling pathways and complex cellular processes involved in facial morphogenesis, genetic variation causing subtle changes of activity in one molecular pathway may tip the balance and result in higher susceptibility to developmental malformations such as CLP.…”

“…As populações caucasóides da Europa e América do Norte têm sido extensivamente caracterizadas em relação a incidência das FL/P, a qual é estimada em 1:700 a cada 1:1000 nascimentos (Fraser, 1970;Cooper M. E. et al, 2006). As populações africanas da América apresentam as mais baixas freqüências, ou seja, 0,5:1000 nascimentos (Croen et al, 1998), sendo semelhantes às encontradas em negros africanos (1:2.500 nascimentos) (Fraser 1970;Owens et al, 1985).…”
