HPO HP:0000518 Cataract "A cataract is an opacity or clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its capsule." [HPO:probinson] Note that some ophthalmologists call any opacity in the lens a cataract, while others restrict the term to lens opacities that impair vision. We use the term to refer to the first meaning (any lens opacity). HP:0000517
HPO HP:0100026 Arteriovenous malformation "An anomalous configuration of blood vessels that shunts arterial blood directly into veins without passing through the capillaries." [HPO:probinson] HP:0033353
HPO HP:0001636 Tetralogy of Fallot "A congenital cardiac malformation comprising pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta, ventricular septum defect, and right ventricular hypertrophy. The diagnosis of TOF is made if at least three of the four above mentioned features are present." [HPO:probinson] HP:0001710
HPO HP:0001763 Pes planus "A foot where the longitudinal arch of the foot is in contact with the ground or floor when the individual is standing; or, in a patient lying supine, a foot where the arch is in contact with the surface of a flat board pressed against the sole of the foot by the examiner with a pressure similar to that expected from weight bearing; or, the height of the arch is reduced." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19125433] 'has part' some (flat and ('inheres in' some 'Longitudinal arch of foot (adult human)') and ('has modifier' some abnormal)) HP:0001760
HPO HP:0002007 Frontal bossing "Bilateral bulging of the lateral frontal bone prominences with relative sparing of the midline." [PMID:19125436] This is not the same as prominent forehead. HP:0000290, HP:0011218
HPO HP:0003220 Abnormality of chromosome stability "A type of chromosomal aberration characterised by reduced resistance of chromosomes to change or deterioration." [HPO:probinson] HP:0011017
HPO HP:0008053 Aplasia/Hypoplasia of the iris "Absence or underdevelopment of the iris." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000525, HP:0008055, HP:0008062
HPO HP:0008678 Renal hypoplasia/aplasia "Absence or underdevelopment of the kidney." [HPO:probinson] HP:0012210
HPO HP:0100542 Abnormal localization of kidney "An abnormal site of the kidney." [HPO:probinson] HP:0012210
HPO HP:0000027 Azoospermia "Absence of any measurable level of sperm in his semen." [HPO:probinson, PMID:20514278] HP:0008669
HPO HP:0001263 Global developmental delay "A delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child, including motor skills, speech and language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional skills. This term should only be used to describe children younger than five years of age." [DDD:hvfirth, HPO:sdoelken] Developmental retardation is any significant lag in development in the any or all of the physical, cognitive, behavioral, emotional, or social spheres. Note that the term intellectual disability (mental retardation) refers to not merely a delay in development but rather a permanent limitation. Note that the term 'psychomotor retardation' is also used in some contexts to refer to a slowing of thought and physical movements as a result of major depression or intoxication. HP:0012758
HPO HP:0100867 Duodenal stenosis "The narrowing or partial blockage of a portion of the duodenum." [HPO:sdoelken] HP:0002246, HP:0012848
HPO HP:0001873 Thrombocytopenia "A reduction in the number of circulating thrombocytes." [HPO:probinson] Thrombocytopenia can be divided into three major causes; 1) low production of platelets in the bone marrow; 2) intravascular breakdown of thrombocytes; and 3) increased turnover of platelets in spleen or liver (extravascular). HP:0011873
HPO HP:0001199 Triphalangeal thumb "A thumb with three phalanges in a single, proximo-distal axis. Thus, this term applies if the thumb has an accessory phalanx, leading to a digit like appearance of the thumb." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19125433] The requirement for a single PD axis relates to the issue that partial forms of Preaxial polydactyly may comprise a partially duplicated thumb with two distal phalanges and a single proximal phalanx. That finding is instead coded as a mild form of thumb polydactyly. Note that this finding can be readily assessed by examination and/or physical manipulation of the thumb. HP:0009602
HPO HP:0002245 Meckel diverticulum "Meckel's diverticulum is a congenital diverticulum located in the distal ileum." [HPO:probinson] HP:0001549
HPO HP:0000047 Hypospadias "Abnormal position of urethral meatus on the ventral penile shaft (underside) characterized by displacement of the urethral meatus from the tip of the glans penis to the ventral surface of the penis, scrotum, or perineum." [HPO:probinson, PMID:21968448] HP:0100627
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:0002251 Aganglionic megacolon "An abnormality resulting from a lack of intestinal ganglion cells (i.e., an aganglionic section of bowel) that results in bowel obstruction with enlargement of the colon." [HPO:probinson, PMID:17965226] Aganglionic megacolon is characterized by congenital absence of intrinsic ganglion cells in the myenteric (Auerbach) and submucosal (Meissner) plexuses of the gastrointestinal tract. HP:0004362
HPO HP:0000864 Abnormality of the hypothalamus-pituitary axis "Abnormality of the pituitary gland (also known as hypophysis), which is an endocrine gland that protrudes from the bottom of the hypothalamus at the base of the brain. The pituitary gland secretes the hormones ACTH, TSH, PRL, GH, endorphins, FSH, LH, oxytocin, and antidiuretic hormone. The secretion of hormones from the anterior pituitary is under the strict control of hypothalamic hormones, and the posterior pituitary is essentially an extension of the hypothalamus, so that hypothalamus and pituitary gland may be regarded as a functional unit." [DDD:spark] HP:0000818
HPO HP:0002119 Ventriculomegaly "An increase in size of the ventricular system of the brain." [HPO:probinson] HP:0002118
HPO HP:0005344 Abnormal carotid artery morphology "Any structural abnormality of the carotid arteries, including the common carotid artery and its' arterial branches." [] HP:0011004
HPO HP:0002827 Hip dislocation "Displacement of the femur from its normal location in the hip joint." [HPO:probinson] HP:0001384, HP:0030311
HPO HP:0000268 Dolichocephaly "An abnormality of skull shape characterized by a increased anterior-posterior diameter, i.e., an increased antero-posterior dimension of the skull. Cephalic index less than 76%. Alternatively, an apparently increased antero-posterior length of the head compared to width. Often due to premature closure of the sagittal suture." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19125436] Cephalic index is the ratio of head width expressed as a percentage of head length. The normal range is 76-80.9%. Head length is measured between the glabella (the most prominent point on the frontal bone above the root of the nose) and the most prominent part of the occiput in the midline, using spreading calipers. Head width is measured between the most lateral points of the parietal bones on each side of the head, using spreading calipers. Cephalic index standards are derived from Caucasians and have limited relevance for other races and ethnicities. Current norms have limited validity because of changes in infant sleeping position and consequent changes in head shape. New data should be developed. Dolichocephaly is distinct from Prominent occiput, but both can be present in the same individual and should be coded separately. Scaphocephaly is a subtype of dolichocephaly where the anterior and posterior aspects of the cranial vault are pointed (boat-shaped). HP:0002648
HPO HP:0000340 Sloping forehead "Inclination of the anterior surface of the forehead from the vertical more than two standard deviations above the mean (objective); or apparently excessive posterior sloping of the forehead in a lateral view." [PMID:19125436] Measurement requires an angle meter, inclined on the anterior surface of the forehead, in the midline, along a line connecting the hairline to the glabella, compared to the vertical. HP:0000290
HPO HP:0000568 Microphthalmia "A developmental anomaly characterized by abnormal smallness of one or both eyes." [HPO:probinson] HP:0008056, HP:0100887
