I cannot begin to fathom what chromosomes are missing this poor little girl's face. Cleft palate occurs during fetal development in the later trimesters. Thought usually due to vitamin B--specifically--folic acid deficiency not taken before and during the first trimesters of pregnancies.
That is why, ladies, if you want children, you have to do pre-pregnancy care the best way you know how. Clean up your health--especially if you are past 35 years old...
But, there are many chromosomal fragile and instability sites that cause cleft palate--a whole couple of classes of genes...
We scientists just don't know... And the M.D. have a tough time too. Eventually, we hope we all could make a difference. Hopefully the new HHS chief will maintain or increase NIH funding so that folks don't suffer this kind of fate in life...
