Digeorge syndrome: May or may not significantly effect appearance. Per Mayo Clinic facial features may include “small, low-set ears, short width of eye openings (palpebral fissures), hooded eyes, a relatively long face, an enlarged nose tip (bulbous), or a short or flattened groove in the upper lip.” cleft palate w or w/o cleft lip can occur.
