Bifid Nose, Autosomal Recessive

Clinical Features

Esser (1939) reported 4 affected sibs (2 males, 2 females) and an affected male first cousin. Boo-Chai (1965) described 3 cases in sibs of Asiatic Indian descent. A dominant form of bifid nose without hypertelorism (109740) has been proposed. Ocular hypertelorism (sometimes a dominant) is occasionally associated with bifid nose but the genetics of the combination is unknown. Bifid nose may also be seen with frontonasal dysplasia (136760).
