Cleft lip and/or cleft palate (orofacial cleft, OFC) represents a spectrum of craniofacial anomalies. These clefts are one of the most common congenital malformations that can arise as part of a syndrome or in the absence of other defects. A large fraction of clefts occurs without other defects and is termed isolated orofacial clefts.
