    It could be a cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, but also a DiGeorge Syndrome (if there are also hypocalcemia and immunodeficiency due to parathyroids and thymum aplasia)

    cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome - in the picture we can see hypertelorism, absence of eyebrows, epicanthic folds. Congenital heart defects in this condition are usually pulmonic stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
