Abstract

Provision of genetic evaluation and counseling as part of the routine service of a cleft palate team is an evolving concept. This paper reviews relevant advances in clinical genetics and their impact on craniofacial centers. The patient population, diagnostic categories, and service delivery model at one such center, not necessarily representative, are analyzed to demonstrate that genetic services are now essential.
