In cases with cleft lip/palate the sex does not influence the difference in genomic DNA methylation at cleft lip sides.

In children with cleft lip the electron microscopy of orbicularis oris muscle fibers reveals differences between males and females that could associate with the higher incidence of the malformation among males.

Maternal-Origin-Effect of specific gene variants suggests a two-faced epigenetic role on in-utero leukemogenesis responsible for the different male/female ratio in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia phenotypes.

Females have the worst prognosis after heart attack. During ongoing infarction coagulation FXIII falls in blood levels and this is genetically determined. Females undergo to excessive consuming needing higher levels to preserve heart wall structure.
