Question 1

Does a flat nasal bridge and wide set eyes always mean a chromosome disorder?

Sometimes this is a normal inherited trait.  Try to see if others in the family share that trait.  If you suspect that this person has a chromosome disorder, the doctors that diagnose them are called genetecists.  If the person is your child it's best to see a pediatrician about your concerns first.  (of course, if this is a coworker or the like, it's best to just leave it be ;).
