    Abstract

    Two families with non-syndromic cleft lip and cleft palate are described. The linear pattern of inheritance through several generations is difficult to explain by conventional multifactorial models. The pedigrees strengthen the suggestion that a dominantly inherited mutation exists with a major influence on clefting of the lip and palate alone.
