Why does your son have a cleft chin with no family history of a cleft chin on either side?

Actually, the answer is YES. If your child has a cleft chin, either you and the other parent have one of the traits to create the cleft. When both traits come together, the cleft is formed. So you can't see it in the parents but you can in the child. In ref to the comment below... The same goes with eye color. Brown and Blue are so close it's not even funny. They're just one marker apart. Children with cleft chins don't have to have a parent with a cleft chin, that i simple genetics, one of the great great granfathers of a child might have had it, and it resurfaced many many genirations later, it really is all genetic, some people have blue eyes while niether parents have the trait, it is simply a gene that has been skipped and is now resurfacing!

∙ 15y agoI actually don't know this 100% but I watched an episode of house where the son had known he had been adopted because he had a cleft chin and neither of his parents did. I find it hard to believe because there may be cleft chins in some other part of their genetics

∙ 14y agoCleft chin is a dominant trait, but it also has a modifier gene. You know like those lamps that can be turned on but if there is a light switch it has to be in the on position for you to actually physically turn it on.

Can a dimpled or cleft chin take a harder punch than a non dimpled or cleft chin?
Interesting question, I can see why one might wonder this, since a cleft chin may be though of as 'masculine'. I'm a mixed martial artist, and thinking about the anatomy of the cleft chin would tell me the answer is 'no'. The cleft is due to an incomplete formation of fusing the jawbone together, therefore, fighting someone with a cleft chin may even be something to exploit with a nice right hook.
