PIERRE ROBIN AND CLEFT PALATE

[M.GATT MALTA]

OUR SON WILL BE UNDERGOING CLEFT PALATE SURGERY AT NINE
MONTHS. SPECIALISTS ARE UNSURE WHETHER HE HAS PRS. IS PIERRE
ROBIN GENETICALLY DETERMINED OR NOT ? HIS MUM WAS BORN WITH CLUB
FOOT CORRECTED BY SPLINTERS. IS THERE ANY GENETIC CONNECTION TO
THIS ? WE WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER PARENTS
