Genetic analysis of cleft lip and cleft palate in southern Poland. I. Empiric and relative recurrence risks.

The study covered 1009 families with CL +/- P and 490 families with CP coming from the region of southern Poland wherein the incidence is 1.3/1000 for CL +/- P and 0.51/1000 for CP. The empiric recurrence risk of CL +/- P and CP was 1.6% +/- 0.66 and 0.93% +/- 0.75, respectively. It was found that the risk of CL +/- P recurrence was three times greater among the sibs of male probands in comparison to that of female index cases. The relative risk of malformation recurrence in a family with one of the offspring already affected was 14.57 for CL +/- P and 19.85 for CP. The heritability values, calculated according to Falconer's formula were found to be 54.77% +/- 5.07 for CL +/- P and 52.79% +/- 8.63 for CP and suggested the significant effect of environmental factors on the etiology of these anomalies.

Genetic analysis of cleft lip and cleft palate in southern Poland. II. Complex segregation analysis.

A complex segregation analysis based on the maximum likelihood method was applied on a sample of 329 families with CP and 687 families with CL +/- P. The results for CP malformations were equivocal, since the authors were unable to distinguish between the hypothesis of recessive inheritance with complete penetrance (chi 2 = 19.60) and that of multifactorial inheritance (chi 2 = 20.38). For CL +/- P lesions the most plausible hypothesis seemed to be that of dominant inheritance with low penetrance (t = 0.277) and relatively high frequency of phenocopies. For these hypotheses the values Q of theoretical recurrence risk were computed and presented.
