HPO HP:0000322 Short philtrum "Distance between nasal base and midline upper lip vermilion border more than 2 SD below the mean. Alternatively, an apparently decreased distance between nasal base and midline upper lip vermilion border." [PMID:19152422] HP:0000288
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:0002126 Polymicrogyria "Polymicrogyria is a congenital malformation of the cerebral cortex characterized by abnormal cortical layering (lamination) and an excessive number of small gyri (folds)." [COST:neuromig, HPO:probinson, PMID:24888723] Polymicrogyria, one of the most common malformations of cortical development, is characterized histologically by the appearance of an excessive number of small cortical folds, often fused together, with disordered cortical lamination.

HPO HP:0000475 Broad neck "Increased side-to-side width of the neck." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000464
HPO HP:0000324 Facial asymmetry "An abnormal difference between the left and right sides of the face." [HPO:probinson] HP:0001999
HPO HP:0009804 Tooth agenesis "The absence of one or more teeth from the normal series by a failure\nto develop" [HPO:sdoelken, PMID:31468724] Teeth agenesis needs to be confirmed by X-rays. Teeth agenesis encompasses hypodontia, oligodontia, and anodontia. The total number and the type of teeth missing should be added to the description. The clinical absence of a tooth due to a disturbed eruption should not be termed teeth agenesis but a missing tooth. HP:0006483
HPO HP:0000463 Anteverted nares "Anteriorly-facing nostrils viewed with the head in the Frankfurt horizontal and the eyes of the observer level with the eyes of the subject. This gives the appearance of an upturned nose (upturned nasal tip)." [PMID:19152422] The tip of the nose is upturned and is positioned superiorly to the nasal base, allowing the nares to be easily visualized from the front. With maturation and growth of the nasal ridge and tip, the nares usually become more downwardly directed. HP:0000429, HP:0005105, HP:0005288
HPO HP:0008723 Gonadal dysgenesis with female appearance, male "Unusual gonadal development in a person with a 46,XY male karyotype, leading to a more female sex differentiation." [HPO:sdoelken] Very bad term - try to get rid of it later. HP:0000133
HPO HP:0000151 Aplasia of the uterus "Aplasia of the uterus." [HPO:probinson] HP:0008684
HPO HP:0012870 Vanishing testis "A condition which is considered to be due to the subsequent atrophy and disappearance in fetal life of an initially normal testis. In the presence of spermatic cord structures is evidence of the presence of the testis in early intrauterine life. When associated with a blind-ending spermatic cord, this entity is named as his absence of a testis in an otherwise normal 46XY male is usually unilateral and is assumed to be a consequence of intrauterine or perinatal torsion or infarction."

HPO HP:0008232 Elevated circulating follicle stimulating hormone level "An elevated concentration of follicle-stimulating hormone in the blood." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000837, HP:0030346
HPO HP:0011969 Elevated circulating luteinizing hormone level "An elevated concentration of luteinizing hormone in the blood." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000837, HP:0030345
HPO HP:0000006 Autosomal dominant 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 heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele." [HPO:curators] HP:0000005
