Autosomal dominant flat umbilicus

Am J Med Genet A. 2004 Dec 15;131(3):307-9. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.a.30395.

Abstract

We describe a Chinese family among whom five members in three generations had a flat umbilicus with vertical and male to male transmission indicative of autosomal dominant inheritance. Except the proband, who also had Tetralogy of Fallot, other affected members had a flat umbilicus as an isolated anomaly. Autosomal dominant transmission of isolated flat umbilicus has not been reported previously.
