Abstract

We report on familial occurrence of congenital diaphragmatic defect and associated midline anomalies, namely cleft palate and omphalocele in brothers. This family further supports the existence of an X-linked gene involved in the organization of the embryonal midline. This particular mutant gene might be active in the schisis-morphogenesis phenomena occurring at the midline.
