Inheritance CLP: For cleft lip without palate (you-father affected) the risk is 2%. For cleft lip and palate (again-father affected) the risk is 7% without other "syndromes" associated with this. Cleft lip and cleft lip and palate are 2 times more common in males. Isolated cleft palates are 2 times more common in females. Inheritance is "multifactorial.".
