MeshID =Van Der Woude syndrome (VDWS) consists of the following characteristics: cleft lip with or without
cleft palate , isolated cleft palate, pits ormucous cyst s on the lowerlip , andhypodontia . It is the most common syndromic form of cleft lip and palate (CLP), accounting for 2% of all CLP cases (usually CLP is nonsyndromic). Affected individuals have normal intelligence.It was first characterized in 1954.cite journal |author=Van der Woude A |title=Fistula labii inferioris congenita and its association with cleft lip and palate |journal=Am.

Genetics
VDWS is an
autosomal dominant or sporadic inheritance caused bymutation s of theIRF6 gene , located onchromosome 1 at 1q32-q41. (Popliteal pterygium syndrome can also be caused by mutations of this gene.)In
2002 Kondo "et al." described a pair ofmonozygotic twins discordant for VDWS whose parents did not have the disorder.cite journal |author=Kondo S, Schutte BC, Richardson RJ, "et al" |title=Mutations in IRF6 cause Van der Woude and popliteal pterygium syndromes |journal=Nat.
