Cleft palate is a developmental defect of the palate resulting from a failure of fusion of the palatine processes and manifesting as a separation of the roof of the mouth (soft and hard palate). [from HPO]

Cleft palate as an isolated malformation behaves as an entity distinct from cleft lip with or without cleft palate (see 119530). Dominantly inherited cleft soft palate in 4 generations has been reported (Jenkins and Stady, 1980); see 119570. [from OMIM]

A variant of systemic sclerosis characterized by calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal motility disorders, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia. [from NCI]

Disorder with characteristics of varying degrees of deafness and minor defects in structures arising from neural crest, including pigmentation anomalies of eyes, hair, and skin. Clinical manifestations vary within and between families. Frequent clinical manifestations include congenital sensorineural deafness, heterochromic or hypoplastic blue irides, white forelock or early greying of the scalp hair before the age of 30 years. The disease is genetically heterogeneous. To date, mutations in 6 different genes have been identified: PAX3 (2q36.1), MITF (3p14-p13), SNAI2 (8q11.21), SOX10 (22q13.1), EDNRB (13q22.3), and EDN3 (20q13.32). [from SNOMEDCT_US]

An abnormality of the mouth. [from HPO]

Any structural anomaly of the hollow epithelial tube found on the dorsal side of the vertebrate embryo that develops into the central nervous system (i.e. brain and spinal cord). [from HPO]

Inflammation of the sphenoid sinus that typically lasts beyond eight weeks. It is caused by infections, allergies, and the presence of sinus polyps or a deviated septum. Signs and symptoms include headache, nasal discharge, swelling in the face, dizziness, and breathing difficulties. [from NCI]
