Abstract
This study was performed to identify various factors influencing the incidence of cleft lip and palate in aged (more than 280 days) A/J strain mice. These factors included estrous cycle, maternal weight, implantation site, prenatal mortality, and litter size.
1. The incidence of cleft palate with cleft lip was 5.5±11.0 % and that of cleft palate without cleft lip was 1.8±7.5 %.
2. The reduction of cleft lip and palate was significantly related to the prolonged estrous cycle.
3. The results were discussed in relation to the reduction of cleft lip and palate with estradiol in A/J strain mice.
