Popis: Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are common congenital malformations of the lip, palate, or both caused by complex genetic and environmental factors. Specific antibodies against viruses influenza, rubella, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, parotitis and hepatitis B were investigated serologically in children with orofacial clefts and in their mothers. The results were compared with those obtained in control children and their mothers. Evaluation of the results and their statistical processing supports the assumption that infection during pregnancy may have occurred in the series studied induced by viruses of influenza, rubella, cytomegalovirus and possibly also by the Epstein-Barr virus. No association with the viruses of hepatitis B and parotitis was established.
