Cleft palate - what does this mean

Cleft palate is a congenital birth defect that occurs when the roof of the mouth does not form properly during fetal development. this can cause an opening in the roof of the mouth, which can affect the structure of the face and can also cause problems with feeding, speaking, and hearing.

What happens during the disease - cleft palate

Cleft palate is a congenital disorder caused by a failure of the palatal shelves to fuse together during fetal development. this is due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as maternal smoking, alcohol consumption, medications, and deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals. the genetic factors are thought to be linked to changes in the expression of genes involved in palatal development. the resulting cleft can range from a small notch in the soft palate to a large opening in the roof of the mouth.
