In the analyzed group there were 181 palate clefts (41.7%), 156 lip and palate clefts (36%) and 97 lip clefts (22.3%). Detailed analysis of clefts types showed that isolated palate clefts are definitely more frequent in females than males (112 vs 69), while lip and palate clefts in boys than girls (96 vs. 60).
