Is it possible for a human to give birth to twins--one with Down Syndrome and the other with physical defects?

other with physical defects (not DS)? Not identical, but fraternal? Can A.F.S. cause physical defects?

Update:

A.F.S. I meant F.A.S. (fetal alcohol syndrome)

    Yes, entirely possible, but they would be fraternal twins. Downs syndrome is not usually inheritable - just a random event (some types are inheritable but not very common). Sorry, don't know what A.F.S. is.
