Genetica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The observations ofBirkenfeld, Schröder and ofSanders on harelip and cleft palate in man can be arranged in such a way that they all support the hypothesis that the trait is inherited as a double recessive, one gene being autosomal and the other one sex-linked. This explains the fact that harelip is twice as common in the male sex as it is in the female.
