HPO HP:0001596 Alopecia "A noncongenital process of hair loss, which may progress to partial or complete baldness." [PMID:14676077] HP:0011362
HPO HP:0010571 Elevated levels of phytanic acid "An abnormal elevation of phytanic acid." [HPO:curators] Phytanic acid (3,7,11,15-tetramethyl hexadecanoic acid) is a fatty acid that is derived from chlorophyll and present in the diet. The metabolism of phytanic acid involves alpha-oxidation in the peroxisome, which converts phytanic acid to pristanic acid. Peroxisomes involved in the catabolism of very long chain fatty acids and phytanic acid. Peroxisomal malfunctioning can lead to over-accumulation of very long chain fatty acids and phytanic acid, among other things. HP:0010965
HPO HP:0002093 Respiratory insufficiency HP:0002795
HPO HP:0002751 Kyphoscoliosis "An abnormal curvature of the spine in both a coronal (lateral) and sagittal (back-to-front) plane." [HPO:probinson] HP:0002650, HP:0002808
HPO HP:0000510 Rod-cone dystrophy "An inherited retinal disease subtype in which the rod photoreceptors appear to be more severely affected than the cone photoreceptors. Typical presentation is with nyctalopia (due to rod dysfunction) followed by loss of mid-peripheral field of vision, which gradually extends and leaves many patients with a small central island of vision due to the preservation of macular cones." [HPO:probinson, PMID:20212494] Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of hereditary diseases of the eye. However, the term retinitis pigmentosa has also been used to describe the retinal findings characteristic of these diseases but also seen on other diseases such as Usher syndrome. It is preferable to describe the findings precisely if possible, but this term is kept for convenience. HP:0000556
HPO HP:0000662 Nyctalopia "Inability to see well at night or in poor light." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000504
HPO HP:0001638 Cardiomyopathy "A myocardial disorder in which the heart muscle is structurally and functionally abnormal, in the absence of coronary artery disease, hypertension, valvular disease and congenital heart disease sufficient to cause the observed myocardial abnormality." [HPO:probinson, PMID:17916581] HP:0001637
HPO HP:0011675 Arrhythmia "Any cardiac rhythm other than the normal sinus rhythm. Such a rhythm may be either of sinus or ectopic origin and either regular or irregular. An arrhythmia may be due to a disturbance in impulse formation or conduction or both." [DDD:dbrown, PMID:19063792] HP:0030956
HPO HP:0000007 Autosomal recessive inheritance "A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele)." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000005
HPO HP:0001265 Hyporeflexia "Reduction of neurologic reflexes such as the knee-jerk reaction." [HPO:probinson] HP:0001315
HPO HP:0012211 Abnormal renal physiology "An abnormal functionality of the kidney." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000077, HP:0011277
HPO HP:0004689 Short fourth metatarsal "Short fourth metatarsal bone." [HPO:probinson] HP:0010743, HP:0040035
HPO HP:0000639 Nystagmus "Rhythmic, involuntary oscillations of one or both eyes related to abnormality in fixation, conjugate gaze, or vestibular mechanisms." [HPO:curators] HP:0012547
HPO HP:0010571 Elevated levels of phytanic acid "An abnormal elevation of phytanic acid." [HPO:curators] Phytanic acid (3,7,11,15-tetramethyl hexadecanoic acid) is a fatty acid that is derived from chlorophyll and present in the diet. The metabolism of phytanic acid involves alpha-oxidation in the peroxisome, which converts phytanic acid to pristanic acid.

Peroxisomal malfunctioning can lead to over-accumulation of very long chain fatty acids and phytanic acid, among other things. HP:0010965
HPO HP:0003474 Somatic sensory dysfunction "An abnormality of the primary sensation that is mediated by peripheral nerves (pain, temperature, touch, vibration, joint position). The word hypoesthesia (or hypesthesia) refers to a reduction in cutaneous sensation to a specific type of testing." [HPO:probinson] This term does not include abnormalities of cortical sensation such as two-point discrimination, stereognosis, and graphesthesia. HP:0012638
HPO HP:0000616 Miosis "Abnormal (non-physiological) constriction of the pupil." [HPO:probinson] HP:0007686
HPO HP:0003690 Limb muscle weakness "Reduced strength and weakness of the muscles of the arms and legs." [HPO:sdoelken] HP:0001324, HP:0009127
HPO HP:0001761 Pes cavus "The presence of an unusually high plantar arch. Also called high instep, pes cavus refers to a distinctly hollow form of the sole of the foot when it is bearing weight." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19125433] HP:0001760
HPO HP:0000407 Sensorineural hearing impairment "A type of hearing impairment in one or both ears related to an abnormal functionality of the cochlear nerve." [HPO:probinson] Hearing loss caused by damage or dysfunction of the auditory nerve (cranial nerve VIII, also known as the cochlear nerve). HP:0000365, HP:0011389
HPO HP:0001251 Ataxia "Cerebellar ataxia refers to ataxia due to dysfunction of the cerebellum. This causes a variety of elementary neurological deficits including asynergy (lack of coordination between muscles, limbs and joints), dysmetria (lack of ability to judge distances that can lead to under- or overshoot in grasping movements), and dysdiadochokinesia (inability to perform rapid movements requiring antagonizing muscle groups to be switched on and off repeatedly)." [HPO:probinson] Ataxia can be differentiated into dyssynergy, asynergy, dysmetria (hypometria, hypermetria), dysdiadochokinesis, gait ataxia, truncal ataxia, limb ataxia, and dysarthria). Note: This term does not include sensory ataxia. HP:0011443
HPO HP:0002922 Increased CSF protein "Increased concentration of protein in the cerebrospinal fluid." [KI:phemming, PMID:29114301] HP:0025456
HPO HP:0008064 Ichthyosis "An abnormality of the skin characterized the presence of excessive amounts of dry surface scales on the skin resulting from an abnormality of keratinization." [HPO:probinson] The ichthyoses are a group of skin diseases characterized by drying and scaling of skin with the accumulation of thick scales and cracks that may be painful or bleed. The abnormality in ichthyosis lies in am imbalance in the normal lifecycle of skin in which growth is matched with dying and shedding of skin cells. In ichthyosis, skin cells reproduce at a rate faster than dead skin cells can be shed or reproduce at a normal rate with a reduction in the rate of shedding. Either abnormality leads to a build up of dry and scaly skin. Note that this term refers to the morphological abnormality of the skin and not the disorder. HP:0011368
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:0002654 Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia HP:0002652
HPO HP:0000458 Anosmia "An inability to perceive odors. This is a general term describing inability to smell arising in any part of the process of smelling from absorption of odorants into the nasal mucous overlying the olfactory epithelium, diffusion to the cilia, binding to olfactory receptor sites, generation of action potentials in olfactory neurons, and perception of a smell." [HPO:probinson] HP:0004408
