Familial incidence of labial pits.
Congenital pits of the lower lip are rare malformations, inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion (penetrance approximately 80 per cent), and closely associated with cleft lip, cleft lip/palate, or isolated cleft palate. The phenomenon of paramedian labial pits is discussed, and an example of inheritance pattern is reported.
