HPO HP:0001629 Ventricular septal defect "A hole between the two bottom chambers (ventricles) of the heart. The defect is centered around the most superior aspect of the ventricular septum." [HPO:probinson, PMID:33327983] HP:0010438
HPO HP:0009623 Proximal placement of thumb "Proximal mislocalization of the thumb." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19125433] Thumb placement index greater than 0.55; or, the base of the thumb appears closer to the wrist than is typical. The technique for the thumb placement index is described in detail [Malina et al., 1973; Hall et al., 2007]. Briefly, the thumb placement index is the distance from the proximal crease of the index finger to the angle of the first interdigital space divided by the distance from the proximal crease of the index finger to the wrist flexion crease at the base of the thumb. This term should not be used with Preaxial polydactyly. HP:0009603

HPO HP:0000411 Protruding ear "Angle formed by the plane of the ear and the mastoid bone greater than the 97th centile for age (objective); or, outer edge of the helix more than 2 cm from the mastoid at the point of maximum distance (objective)." [PMID:19152421] HP:0000377
HPO HP:0000286 Epicanthus "A fold of skin starting above the medial aspect of the upper eyelid and arching downward to cover, pass in front of and lateral to the medial canthus." [HPO:probinson] In extreme cases, the skin fold can start as high as the eyebrow; this is called epicanthus superciliaris. HP:0000492
HPO HP:0000729 Autistic behavior "Persistent deficits in social interaction and communication and interaction as well as a markedly restricted repertoire of activity and interest as well as repetitive patterns of behavior." [HPO:probinson, PMID:28879490] This term can be used to refer to autism spectrum disorder as a phenotypic feature that can be a component of a disease. Autism spectrum disorder range from a severe form, called autistic disorder, to a milder form, Asperger syndrome. HP:0000708
HPO HP:0002553 Highly arched eyebrow "Increased height of the central portion of the eyebrow, forming a crescent, semicircular, or inverted U shape." [PMID:19125427] Most eyebrows have some arch with downturning medially and laterally. HP:0000534
HPO HP:0004467 Preauricular pit "Small indentation anterior to the insertion of the ear." [HPO:sdoelken, PMID:19152421] Preauricular cysts and sinuses are ectodermal remnants from an aberrant development of the auditory tubercles, tend to be bilateral and are localized anterior to the tragus of the ear. The preauricular sinus is a benign congenital lesion of the preauricular soft tissue consisting of a blind-ending narrow tube or pit. It is also known as preauricular pit, preauricular fistula, preauricular tract and preauricular cyst. It can be asymptomatic or present as an infected and discharging sinus. It presents as a small pit adjacent to the external ear usually located at the anterior margin of the ascending limb of the helix. The preauricular sinus is variably also termed a preauricular pit, preauricular fistula, preauricular tract and preauricular cyst. HP:0100277
HPO HP:0001290 Generalized hypotonia "Generalized muscular hypotonia (abnormally low muscle tone)." [HPO:curators] HP:0001252
HPO HP:0008551 Microtia "Underdevelopment of the external ear." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19152421, PMID:3270622] The definitions of microtia follow a widely used, surgically based, classification of ear anomalies outlined by Weerda 1988. As microtia indicates at least both decreased length and width, and in more severe forms it includes abnormal shape of structures, all forms are acknowledged to be bundled terms, but are retained here because they are well established. HP:0000377, HP:0008772
HPO HP:0004209 Clinodactyly of the 5th finger "Clinodactyly refers to a bending or curvature of the fifth finger in the radial direction (i.e., towards the 4th finger)." [HPO:curators, PMID:16252026] Minor degrees of curvature of the small finger are so common as to be considered normal. HP:0009179, HP:0040019
HPO HP:0031348 Dextrotransposition of the great arteries "A type of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) in which aorta is in front of and primarily to the right of the pulmonary artery. This is the most common kind of TGA." [PMID:25082585] HP:0001669
HPO HP:0000365 Hearing impairment "A decreased magnitude of the sensory perception of sound." [HPO:probinson] Hearing loss can be categorized by which part of the auditory system is damaged, as conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, and mixed hearing loss. Another axis of classification uses the degree of hearing impairment. The degree of hearing loss is computed by using a three frequency average taken at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz and 2,000 Hz. The average of these three frequencies is called the Pure Tone Average (PTA). 0-20 dB is considered normal, 21-40 dB mild loss, 41-60 dB moderate loss, 61-70 dB moderately severe loss,71-90 dB severe loss, and greater than 90 dB profound loss. Note that the word deafness is occasionally used to describe partial hearing loss. The World Health Organization uses the word deafness to refer to complete loss of the ability to hear, and hearing impairment to refer to any degree of reduced hearing. HP:0000364
HPO HP:0002119 Ventriculomegaly "An increase in size of the ventricular system of the brain." [HPO:probinson] HP:0002118
