Abstract
A family is described in which half-siblings, a boy and a girl born to unrelated mothers and a phenotypically normal father, were affected with omphalocele. The suggested mode of transmission remains unclear. Prenatal diagnosis to detect an affected fetus should be offered to relatives of omphalocele-affected individuals.Keywords
