Associated problems with bifid uvula - diagnosis / genetic testing?

I have a bifid uvula - where that little hangy thing in the back of your throat is sort of split at the bottom. My mom says the doctor (when I was an infant) told her that it was not a problem as long as I didn't develop any other symptoms. I was fairly normal - I always thought it was an oddity, not a birth defect.<br>
I had an ear infection last year and think its coming back - and my searching keeps pulling up a bifid uvula (and cleft palate) connection. More research has me a little on edge. I had to go through speech therapy as a child, I have a nasally voice, and there are many symptoms of associated syndromes that match up. <br>
I know you can convince yourself you have anything with whats available on the net, and being 'normal' I have little to complain about, but the statistics on passing issues to children are scary. Is there a way to see (at home) if I have the submucus cleft palate? Should I have genetic testing done? Am I making something out of nothing?

I have a daughter with a cleft lip and palate..www.cleftadvocate.org is a wonderful place to go to ask information..Post on the message board and I'm sure you'll find a lot of information that you're looking for and others in your situation..
