Answer: The eyes appear slanted because of an extra fold of skin at the upper, medial corner of the eye. The tongue is course and often protrudes, while the nose is short and flat. The child has a short stature, and the sex organs are underdeveloped. A straight crease extends across the palm of the hand, and the little finger is often shorter than normal.
