What Causes The Crease In The Ears Of A 8 Month Old Twins?

I have 8month old twins. My son is being evaluated for Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome. One of the indicators I know is ear creases, which he appears to have. However, his twin sister also has an ear crease in one of her lobes, but has no other symptoms of BWS. How can this be explained?

For only one feature a syndrome can not be diagnosed. These may b incidental findings. You should look for other diagnostic features if present.
