We report on a 4-month-old girl with congenital hypodipsic hypernatremia resulting from decreased sensitivity of the hypothalamic osmoreceptors with increased tonicity in association with hyperlipemia and cleft lip and cleft palate. We postulate that the link among these various derangements is hypothalamic Dysfunction.

## Abstract Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is a common birth defect due to both genetic and environmental factors. Whorl lip print patterns are circular grooves on the central upper lip and/or the left and right lower lip. To determine if whorls are more common in famili
Ocular colobomas and microphthalmos, isolated or as part of a syndrome, are usually sporadic and only rarely found in large families. A 4-generation family with autosomal dominant uveal coloboma and microphthalmos associated with cleft lip and palate was re-evaluated. Wide variability in expression
## Abstract Our previous results indicated a moderate association between the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (__MTHFR__) gene 677CβT variant and an increased risk of nonβsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (nsCL/P) among the northern but not southern population in China, suggestin
