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:0008404 Nail dystrophy "Onychodystrophy (nail dystrophy) refers to nail changes apart from changes of the color (nail dyschromia) and involves partial or complete disruption of the various keratinous layers of the nail plate." [PMID:19675700] Onychodystrophy is a widely used, yet rarely defined term. Onychodystrophy can be caused by congenital nail diseases, systemic disorders, fungal and nonfungal infections, various noninfectious inflammatory dermatologic diseases of the nail unit and tumors. Onychodystrophy can also occur secondarily to systemic drug use. HP:0001597
HPO HP:0000982 Palmoplantar keratoderma "Abnormal thickening of the skin of the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000972
HPO HP:0001903 Anemia "A reduction in erythrocytes volume or hemoglobin concentration." [HPO:probinson] Anemia is not a specific entity but can result from many underlying pathologic processes. The three main causes of anemia are blood loss, decreased or faulty red blood cell production, and increased destruction of red blood cells. Various classifications are in clinical use including a classification according to the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of the erythrocytes: microcytic, macrocytic, or normocytic. Anemias can also be classified according to variations in cell size and shape, as reflected by the red-cell distribution width (RDW). Additionally, anemias can be classified into those of inadequate production and hemolytic anemias. HP:0001877
HPO HP:0200037 Skin vesicle "A circumscribed, fluid-containing, epidermal elevation generally considered less than 10mm in diameter at the widest point." [HPO:SKOEHLER] HP:0011355
HPO HP:0002216 Premature graying of hair "Development of gray hair at a younger than normal age." [HPO:probinson] HP:0007495, HP:0009887
HPO HP:0005528 Bone marrow hypocellularity "A reduced number of hematopoietic cells present in the bone marrow relative to marrow fat." [DDD:wouwehand, HPO:probinson] HP:0012145
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:0002514 Cerebral calcification "The presence of calcium deposition within brain structures." [HPO:probinson] This finding can be demonstrated upon cerebral computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or potentially by standard radiography of the skull. HP:0002060, HP:0010766

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:0002745 Oral leukoplakia "A thickened white patch on the oral mucosa that cannot be rubbed off." [HPO:probinson, PMID:17944749] The definition of oral leukoplakia states that the lesion be characterized clinically or histologically as any other condition, and is not associated with any physical or chemical causative agent except tobacco. Leukoplakia is a precancerous lesion, i.e. a morphologically altered tissue in which cancer is more likely to occur than in its apparently normal counterpart. HP:0025125
HPO HP:0008070 Sparse hair "Reduced density of hairs." [HPO:probinson, PMID:14676077] This term applies if the number of hair shafts per unit area is reduced. The term fine hair is used to describe hair with a reduced diameter. HP:0011362
