Are Asian eyes a genetic defect?

Are monolids a genetic defect?

Monolids are seen in Down's syndrome and fetal alcohol syndrome, as well as a handful of other genetic disorders...why is it also seen in healthy Asian people then?

"Epicanthal folds are also seen in non-Asian babies and young children before the bridge of their noses develops."

Monolid eyes are also called epicanthal folds or epicanthic folds. If you have epicanthal folds, the skin of your upper eyelids covers the inner parts of your eyes

Does this mean Asians also have an underdeveloped nose?
