Abstract

A family pedigree is reported in which males in four generations are affected with midline isolated cleft palate. This is the second report of cleft palate inherited as a sex-linked recessive trait, and it emphasizes the importance of careful pedigree construction when counseling families of children afflicted with this disorder.
