Cleft chin
The terms cleft chin, chin cleft, dimple chin, chin dimple, or butt chin refer to a dimple on the chin. It is a Y-shaped fissure on the chin with an underlying bony peculiarity. The chin fissure follows the fissure in the lower jaw bone resulted from the incomplete fusion of the left and right halves of the jaw bone, or muscle, during the embryonal and fetal development. For other individuals it can develop over time, often because one half of the jaw is longer than the other, leading to facial asymmetry. This is an inherited trait in humans, where the dominant gene causes the cleft chin while the recessive genotype presents without a cleft. However, it is also a classic example for variable penetrance with environmental factors or a modifier gene possibly affecting the phenotypical expression of the actual genotype. Cleft chins are predominant among people of Germanic and West Slavic ethnicity. It is very common in that part of the world and among descendants of people originating in that part of Europe.
