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. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
