What are the chances of a cleft palate in second child?

My husband and I have an 8 month old son with Pierre Robin Syndrome (PRS) which includes a cleft palate. We are considering having a second child but would like to know the chances of hat one also having PRS with the cleft palate. Does anyone know this? Any inf will be very helpful.

Best Answer: i looked this syndrome up on wikipeda. it says it is not a genetic condition and that the odds of a child have the problem is 1 in 8,500 or 1 in 30,000. so to me this sounds like it would be pretty rare if your next child has the same problems.hope this helped! xx
