HPO HP:0010485 Hyperextensibility at elbow "The ability of the elbow joint to move beyond its normal range of motion." [HPO:curators] HP:0001382
HPO HP:0008897 Postnatal growth retardation "Slow or limited growth after birth." [DDD:hfirth] HP:0001510
HPO HP:0001250 Seizure "A seizure is an intermittent abnormality of nervous system physiology characterised by a transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain." [HPO:probinson, PMID:15816939] A type of electrographic seizure has been proposed in neonates which does not have a clinical correlate, it is electrographic only. The term epilepsy is not used to describe recurrent febrile seizures. Epilepsy presumably reflects an abnormally reduced seizure threshold. HP:0012638
HPO HP:0004540 Congenital, generalized hypertrichosis "A confluent, generalized overgrowth of silvery blonde to gray lanugo hair at birth." [HPO:probinson] Hypertrichosis refers to excessive, abnormal hairiness. HP:0000998
HPO HP:0000744 Low frustration tolerance "The feeling of frustration can be defined as an emotional reaction that occurs if a desired goal is not achieved. Frustration intolerance is defined as an age-inappropriate response to frustration characterized by crying or temper tantrums (in children) or aggressive or other undesirable behaviors." [PMID:21461367] HP:0100851
HPO HP:0003196 Short nose "Distance from nasion to subnasale more than two standard deviations below the mean, or alternatively, an apparently decreased length from the nasal root to the nasal tip." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19152422] Note: a small nose has both decreased height and a decreased width. These should be coded separately. HP:0005105
HPO HP:0000219 Thin upper lip vermilion "Height of the vermilion of the upper lip in the midline more than 2 SD below the mean. Alternatively, an apparently reduced height of the vermilion of the upper lip in the frontal view (subjective)." [PMID:19125428] Normal values for the height of the vermilion are available [Farkas, 1981], but measurements are not commonly used. Most clinicians determine this feature subjectively or use the Likert scale for Caucasians and African Americans [Astley and Clarren, 2000]. The height of the vermilion of the upper lip varies among ethnic groups, and the vermilion should be compared to a population of same ethnic background. The thinness of the upper lip vermilion is sensitive to facial expression. On profile view, a thin vermilion is less convex than usual. A thin upper lip vermilion may be associated with a smooth philtrum and an absence of the Cupid's bow, but these should be assessed separately. HP:0000233, HP:0011339
HPO HP:0002750 Delayed skeletal maturation "A decreased rate of skeletal maturation. Delayed skeletal maturation can be diagnosed on the basis of an estimation of the bone age from radiographs of specific bones in the human body." [HPO:curators] HP:0000927
HPO HP:0000664 Synophrys "Meeting of the medial eyebrows in the midline." [PMID:19125427] HP:0000534, HP:0002219
HPO HP:0000343 Long philtrum "Distance between nasal base and midline upper lip vermilion border more than 2 SD above the mean. Alternatively, an apparently increased distance between nasal base and midline upper lip vermilion border." [PMID:19152422] HP:0000288
HPO HP:0000574 Thick eyebrow "Increased density/number and/or increased diameter of eyebrow hairs." [PMID:19125427] Thickness can be regional (medial, middle/central, lateral) or total. HP:0000534
HPO HP:0000739 Anxiety "Intense feelings of nervousness, tenseness, or panic, often in reaction to interpersonal stresses; worry about the negative effects of past unpleasant experiences and future negative possibilities; feeling fearful, apprehensive, or threatened by uncertainty; fears of falling apart or losing control." [HPO:probinson, PMID:23902698] HP:0100852
HPO HP:0001273 Abnormal corpus callosum morphology "Abnormality of the corpus callosum." [HPO:probinson, PMID:21263138] The corpus callosum, a broad thick band of nerve fibers that connects the right and left cerebral hemispheres, is the largest white matter structure in the brain. This finding can be demonstrated by cerebral magenetic resonance tomography. The corpus callosum structurally consists of 4 major anatomic features including the rostrum, genu, corpus, and splenium. HP:0002500
HPO HP:0000718 Aggressive behavior "Aggressive behavior can denote verbal aggression, physical aggression against objects, physical aggression against people, and may also include aggression towards oneself." [HPO:curators] HP:0006919
HPO HP:0001511 Intrauterine growth retardation "An abnormal restriction of fetal growth with fetal weight below the tenth percentile for gestational age." [HPO:probinson] Intrauterine growth restriction is a newer term that is preferred over Intrauterine growth retardation. The causes of IUGR include maternal abnormalities (chronic hypertension, cyanotic heart disease, smoking, drug abuse), placental or umbilical cord abnormalities (including placenta previa and cord anomalies), maternal medicationas, and genetic disorders of the fetus. HP:0001510
HPO HP:0002015 Dysphagia "Difficulty in swallowing." [HPO:probinson] HP:0012638, HP:0025270
HPO HP:0000508 Ptosis "The upper eyelid margin is positioned 3 mm or more lower than usual and covers the superior portion of the iris (objective); or, the upper lid margin obscures at least part of the pupil (subjective)." [PMID:19125427] HP:0012373
HPO HP:0012368 Flat face "Absence of concavity or convexity of the face when viewed in profile." [PMID:19125436] A useful guide is to imagine that a line connecting the glabella to the anterior most part of the mandible touches the top of the philtrum where it meets the base of the columella. The glabella is the most prominent point on the frontal bone above the root of the nose. If the superior philtrum is anterior to this line the face is convex, if the superior philtrum is posterior to this line the face is concave. HP:0001999
HPO HP:0006712 Aplasia/Hypoplasia of the ribs HP:0000772, HP:0006711
HPO HP:0000752 Hyperactivity "Hyperactivity is a state of constantly being unusually or abnormally active, including in situations in which it is not appropriate." [ORCID:0000-0002-6713-2943] HP:0000708
HPO HP:0005616 Accelerated skeletal maturation "An abnormally increased rate of skeletal maturation. Accelerated skeletal maturation can be diagnosed on the basis of an estimation of the bone age from radiographs of specific bones in the human body." [HPO:curators] HP:0000927
HPO HP:0012745 Short palpebral fissure "Distance between the medial and lateral canthi is more than 2 SD below the mean for age (objective); or, apparently reduced length of the palpebral fissures." [PMID:19125427] HP:0200007
HPO HP:0000316 Hypertelorism "Interpupillary distance more than 2 SD above the mean (alternatively, the appearance of an increased interpupillary distance or widely spaced eyes)." [PMID:19125427] HP:0100886
HPO HP:0011968 Feeding difficulties "Impaired ability to eat related to problems gathering food and getting ready to suck, chew, or swallow it." [ISCA:eriggs] HP:0011458
HPO HP:0008905 Rhizomelia "Disproportionate shortening of the proximal segment of limbs (i.e. the femur and humerus)." [HPO:probinson] HP:0008873, HP:0009826
