Is it true that all people with Down syndrome share the same facial features?
No. A craniofacial morphometrics paper states that while the face is affected in all people with Down syndrome, the degree of anatomical change varies on a person-by-person basis, and reference and clinical sources describe only commonly shared features rather than identical ones.
