The investigation included the risk factors which may cause CLP. Nonconditional stepwise logistic model to simple factor and multivariate analysis was used. Results According to simple factor analysis, 8 factors were significantly related with cleft lip with or without palate (CL ± P)and 4 factors related with cleft palate (CP) . In the multiple logistic regression model, only family history, blood type(O), birth season (May -July ) and mother occupation were related with CL ± P and only number of pregnance, birth season (November - January) and occupation related with CP, Conclusion Hereditary and environmental factors may be the risk factors for occurrence of CL ± P, but only environmental factor is the risk factor for occurrence of CP.
