Dominant inheritance of bifid nose.

Abstract

To our knowledge, median cleft of nose without apparent hypertelorism (bifid nose) has been reported only twice [Esser, 1939; Boo-chai, 1965]. We report five individuals in 3 generations of a family who had a bifid nose without apparent hypertelorism or mental retardation. In this family bifid nose was most likely an autosomal dominant trait.
