title: Epidemiological investigation on cleft palate patterns and sexual difference.
abstract: Sexual difference in severity of the cleft palate was studied in 179 patients. An appreciable correlation was found between the severity of cleft and sex: more females showing higher levels of severity, and no sexual difference existing in less severe cases. The results of our current investigations suggested close correlation between the pathogenic factors and sex in the above patients with cleft palate.
