Abstract

In order to investigate the correlation supposed between cleft lip and palate of children and growth hormone deficiency we determined the amount of growth hormone in the blood serum of 199 children with cleft lip and palate and partly with other additional diseases. In contrast to a previous result we could not find a significant relation between the cleft-syndrome and growth hormone deficiency. All patients had a normal and sufficient concentration of the hormone. As result of our work we propose to determine the hormone concentration only in those cases in which less growth is observed too.
