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!
