HPO HP:0012385 Camptodactyly "The distal interphalangeal joint and/or the proximal interphalangeal joint of the fingers or toes cannot be extended to 180 degrees by either active or passive extension." [HPO:probinson] HP:0030044
HPO HP:0000483 Astigmatism "A type of astigmatism associated with abnormal curvatures on the anterior and/or posterior surface of the cornea." [DDD:ncarter, HPO:probinson, ORCID:0000-0003-0986-4123] The irregular curvature associated with astigmatism means that the optical system is not symmetric about the optical axis. Most commonly the cornea is affected such that the refractive power in one meridian is less than that of the perpendicular axis. Astigmatism of significant degree causes blurry vision.

HPO HP:0000501 Glaucoma "Glaucoma refers loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern of optic neuropathy usually associated with increased intraocular pressure." [HPO:probinson, PMID:11815354] The feature that differentiates glaucoma from other causes of visual morbidity is a characteristic pattern of damage to the optic nerve head. This is most easily recognised at the superior and inferior poles of the optic disc. The vertical cup:disc ratio (VCDR) has proved to be a simple, relatively robust index of glaucomatous loss of the neuroretinal rim. As with intraocular pressure, VCDR is a continuous variable within the population. HP:0012373
HPO HP:0001065 Striae distensae "Thinned, erythematous, depressed bands of atrophic skin. Initially, striae appear as flattened and thinned, pinkish linear regions of the skin. Striae tend to enlarge in length and become reddish or purplish. Later, striae tend to appear as white, depressed bands that are parallel to the lines of skin tension. Striae distensae occur most often in areas that have been subject to distension such as the lower back, buttocks, thighs, breast, abdomen, and shoulders." [HPO:probinson] HP:0004334, HP:0100679
HPO HP:0000768 Pectus carinatum "A deformity of the chest caused by overgrowth of the ribs and characterized by protrusion of the sternum." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000766
HPO HP:0007800 Increased axial length of the globe "Abnormal largeness of the eye with an axial length > 2.5 standard deviations from population mean." [DDD:ncarter] HP:0001090
HPO HP:0001083 Ectopia lentis "Dislocation or malposition of the crystalline lens of the eye. A partial displacement (or dislocation) of the lens is described as a subluxation of the lens, while a complete displacement is termed luxation of the lens. A complete displacement occurs if the lens is completely outside the patellar fossa of the lens, either in the anterior chamber, in the vitreous, or directly on the retina. If the lens is partially displaced but still contained within the lens space, then it is termed subluxation." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000517
HPO HP:0004322 Short stature "A height below that which is expected according to age and gender norms. Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to \"short stature\" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms)."

HPO HP:0000938 Osteopenia "Osteopenia is a term to define bone density that is not normal but also not as low as osteoporosis. By definition from the World Health Organization osteopenia is defined by bone densitometry as a T score -1 to -2.5." [HPO:probinson, PMID:21234807] HP:0004349
HPO HP:0000252 Microcephaly "Head circumference below 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender." [PMID:15806441, PMID:19125436, PMID:25465325, PMID:9683597] Head circumference is measured from just above the glabella (the most prominent point on the frontal bone above the root of the nose) to the most posterior prominent point of the occipital bone using a tape measure. Some standard charts are organized by centiles, others by standard deviations. It is important to add an indication of how far below the normal standard the head circumference is if an accurate assessment of this can be made. Microcephaly is an absolute term. The term relative microcephaly can be used when the head size centile is less than the centile for height, for example, head size at the 3rd centile with height at the 75% for age and sex. On prenatal ultrasound, microcephaly is diagnosed if the head circumference or the biparietal diameter is more than three standard deviations below the mean. Microcephaly is divided into primary microcephaly, which is present at birth, and secondary microcephaly, which develops postnatally. The crucial difference between these groupings is that primary microcephaly is usually a static developmental anomaly, whereas secondary microcephaly indicates a progressive neurodegenerative condition HP:0007364, HP:0040195
HPO HP:0000768 Pectus carinatum "A deformity of the chest caused by overgrowth of the ribs and characterized by protrusion of the sternum." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000766
HPO HP:0000028 Cryptorchidism "Testis in inguinal canal. That is, absence of one or both testes from the scrotum owing to failure of the testis or testes to descend through the inguinal canal to the scrotum." [HPO:probinson, PMID:23650202] The gonad is mobile and can be retracted superiorly by the cremaster muscle reflex stimulated, for instance, by cold or touch. A retracted testis is not cryptorchidism. An abdominal testis cannot be distinguished by physical examination from an (Apparently) absent testis and requires radiological (or, rarely, surgical) procedures for assessment. HP:0000035
HPO HP:0000327 Hypoplasia of the maxilla "Abnormally small dimension of the Maxilla. Usually creating a malocclusion or malalignment between the upper and lower teeth or resulting in a deficient amount of projection of the base of the nose and lower midface region." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000326
