Cleft lip and Palate is a common birth defect affecting 0.5 to 2.5% of births with high morbidity rates. Develops in variety of phenotypes. We can together help fight against this defect and can help the child and the family to deal with it and live a happy life. "We ought not to set them aside with idle thoughts or idle words about "curiosities" or "chances." Not one of them is without meaning; not one that might not become the beginning of excellent knowledge, if only we could answer the question - why is it rare, or being rare, why did it in this instance happen?" -JAMES PAGET, LANCET 2:1017, 1882.
