The aim of the study was to investigate the incidence and type of orofacial clefts associated with congenital defects in a well-defined Lithuanian population. These data are weighty for the further international population-based investigations. Patients and methods. Material of the study comprised 235 cases with orofacial clefts and one or more major congenital anomalies, 1993 through 2005, obtained from the Centre for Medical Genetics at Vilnius University Hospital Santariškių Klinikos, Clinic of Maxillo-facial and Oral Surgery, Institute of Odontology of Vilnius University, the Lithuanian Registry of Congenital Anomalies (LIRECA) and the National Pathology Centre at the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Lithuania. Orofacial clefts were subdivided into three groups: cleft palate alone, cleft lip alone and cleft lip with cleft palate. Each case was assigned to one of three categories: nonchromosomal syndromes, orofacial clefts with chromosomal anomalies and unidentified syndromic orofacial clefts with one or more associated major anomalies. Malformations other than orofacial clefts were grouped according to malformation codes of the ISCD-10 and British Pediatric Association (BPA). Results. There were 70 cases of nonchromosomal syndromes (20 different syndromes), 26 cases of orofacial clefts with different chromosomal abnormalities, and 141 non-syndromic patients with orofacial clefts and one or a routine screening for other associated malformations, especially skeletal, |
