Your answer is not linked to any question. Can you please clarify? If you are talking about omphalocele: it can run in families, but is generally rare. So your family is one of the rare ones. Or do you have an umbilical hernia, not omphalocele? Umbilical hernias occur in 10-15 percent of all infants.

It is usually 1/4200 births. Would speak to a geneticist but if all the members are doing OK now that's great. https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/birthdefects/omphalocele.html
