Vomer aplasia in a patient carrying a de novo mutation of the TP63 gene (3q27).

The congenital vomer defect (CVD) is a rare and still partially unknown condition. Only few cases have been reported in the international literature and the large majority of them appeared to be isolated. We report a case of CVD detected in a 7-year-old girl affected by ectodermal dysplasia clefting syndrome caused by a mutation of the TP63 gene.
