The described physical features are common in individuals with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Down syndrome is characterized by a distinct facial appearance with upward slanting of the eyes, while Prader-Willi syndrome is associated with hypotonia and feeding difficulties. Turner syndrome often results in a webbed neck and short stature, but not the facial features described.
