Physical Characteristics (continued)
Receded chin
The child is born with a much receded lower jaw. This may cause overcrowded teeth
or an incorrect bite.
Hair growth
This is also common at birth. The hairline continues across the cheek, forming a
"sideburn" towards the mouth. This may only be temporary and varies from child to
child.
Other possible problems
Other, but less frequent, characteristics include cleft lip (with or without cleft palate),
cleft palate alone, heart defects, and strabismus (eye/s turning in). These problems
are generally seen in the more severe cases.
