I have read this also. I have a fair amount of American Indian blood (I'm

only registered on the Nation roll on my dad's side but have it on both

sides). I wondered about this also. Although, I think we have a fair mix of

nationalities here to say it isn't isolated to a few nationalities.

FWIW, my son, who has bilateral atresia/microtia, is

Chinese.

By the way, he has a slightly malformed uvula (or as I

said to the pediatric ENT with all my scientific

knowledge, the hangy-down thing at the back of the

throat!). It is just slightly under-formed and poses

no problem to his swallowing. Just wondering if that

might be related--any body else know about this?
