    Fetal alcohol syndrome classifies as a toxic effect on the embryo caused by a substance during pregnancy.

    The substances that cause birth abnormalities or deffects are called teratogens.

    The teratogens may have different consequences on the individuals (in these case the twins) depending on their genetic makeup.

    So, the answer is that the likely explanation for this difference between the twins is that a teratogen may or may not be harmful depending of the genetic makeup.
