• Description:
  PURPOSE
  
  To test whether females in families with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) have increased breast cancer risk
  
  METHODS
  
  Using the Danish Facial Cleft Registry, females with CL/P, mothers of children with CL/P, and sisters to CL/P cases were identified for the Danish birth cohorts 1911 to 1975. These females were compared to a 5% random sample of these cohorts regarding the incidence and age of onset for breast cancer registered in the Danish Hospital Discharge Register 1977–2005.
  
  RESULTS
  
  Examining 48,404 person-years for 1,809 female CL/P cases (49 breast cancer cases) and 212,795 person-years for 7935 female relatives (188 breast cancer cases) we found no increased breast cancer risk for either CL/P cases (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.23, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.92–1.63), mothers of children with CL/P (HR = 0.93, 95%, CI: 0.80–1.08), or sisters of CL/P cases (HR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.55–1.60). Neither were there any significant differences in age of onset.
  
  CONCLUSION
  
  Both epidemiological and genetic studies have suggested common etiological factors for breast cancer and cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P). However, this population-based study was not able to confirm a general increase in breast cancer risk among females in families with CL/P.
