[PMID:19125433] The thumb is both flexed and adducted. Lesser degrees of adduction than that specified here may warrant the use of this term, for example, when the tip of the thumb lies near the base of F2 or F3. HP:0001172
HPO HP:0000047 Hypospadias "Abnormal position of urethral meatus on the ventral penile shaft (underside) characterized by displacement of the urethral meatus from the tip of the glans penis to the ventral surface of the penis, scrotum, or perineum." [HPO:probinson, PMID:21968448] HP:0100627

HPO HP:0002375 Hypokinesia "Abnormally diminished motor activity. In contrast to paralysis, hypokinesia is not characterized by a lack of motor strength, but rather by a poverty of movement. The typical habitual movements (e.g., folding the arms, crossing the legs) are reduced in frequency." [HPO:probinson] HP:0002374
HPO HP:0003202 Skeletal muscle atrophy "The presence of skeletal muscular atrophy (which is also known as amyotrophy)." [HPO:probinson] HP:0030236
HPO HP:0002878 Respiratory failure "A severe form of respiratory insufficiency characterized by inadequate gas exchange such that the levels of oxygen or carbon dioxide cannot be maintained within normal limits." [HPO:probinson] Respiratory failure is classified as type 1 with hypoxemia (arterial partial pressure of oxygen less than 60 mmHg) without hypercapnea, and type 2 with hypoxemia in the present of hypercapnea (partial pressure of carbon dioxide over 50 mmHg). HP:0002093
HPO HP:0000054 Micropenis "Abnormally small penis. At birth, the normal penis is about 3 cm (stretched length from pubic tubercle to tip of penis) with micropenis less than 2.0-2.5 cm." [HPO:probinson, PMID:15102623] HP:0008736
HPO HP:0002015 Dysphagia "Difficulty in swallowing." [HPO:probinson] HP:0012638, HP:0025270

HPO HP:0001558 Decreased fetal movement "An abnormal reduction in quantity or strength of fetal movements." [HPO:curators] HP:0001557
HPO HP:0002804 Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita "Multiple congenital contractures in different body areas." [HPO:probinson, PMID:23050160] Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) consists of several conditions of different etiology and mixed clinical features, including multiple congenital contractures in multiple body areas. Here, we use the term to refer solely to the multiple congenital contractures. It is related to fetal akinesia owing to fetal neurogenic, muscle, or connective tissue disorders or occasionally to maternal conditions. AMC can be associated with polyhydramnios, pulmonary hypoplasia, micrognathia, ocular hypertelorism, and short umbilical cord. AMC is a feature of a heterogeneous group of disorders, some of which have the phrase 'arthrogryposis multiplex congenita' as a part of their name (for instance, Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, distal type 1 or AMCD1). This term refers to the finding of multiple joint contractures found throughout the body at birth rather than to the disease entities of which this is a clinical feature. HP:0002803
HPO HP:0003798 Nemaline bodies "Nemaline rods are abnormal bodies that can occur in skeletal muscle fibers. The rods can be observed on histological analysis of muscle biopsy tissue or upon electron microscopy, where they appear either as extensions of sarcomeric Z-lines, in random array without obvious attachment to Z-lines (often in areas devoid of sarcomeres) or in large clusters localized at the sarcolemma or intermyofibrillar spaces." [HPO:curators, PMID:11333380] This finding can be demonstrated by muscle biopsy, which shows nemaline bodies (rods) on Gomori trichrome staining. Rod bodies characteristically stain red with\nMGT. The rods are delicate and accumulate subsarcolemmaly. They stain negative with ATPase, NADH and SDH as they lack myosin and mitochondria. Rods are characteristic of nemaline myopathy but also seen in central core disease and various other diseases which include neurogenic disorders (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, undefined), inflammatory myopathies (dermatomyositis, polymyositis, periarteritis nodosa), metabolic myopathy (mitochondrial myopathy), muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and some undefined myopathies (Liouet al; Diagnostic role of nemaline rod in neuromuscular disease. Acta Neurol Sinica 1992;1: 218-23). HP:0100303
HPO HP:0001561 Polyhydramnios "The presence of excess amniotic fluid in the uterus during pregnancy." [HPO:probinson] Polyhydramnios is diagnosed if the deepest vertical pool of amniotic fluid is more than 8 cm or amniotic fluid index is more than 95th percentile for the corresponding gestational age. HP:0001560
HPO HP:0005855 Multiple prenatal fractures "The presence of bone fractures in the prenatal period that are diagnosed at birth or before." [HPO:curators] HP:0002659
HPO HP:0006829 Severe muscular hypotonia "A severe degree of muscular hypotonia characterized by markedly reduced muscle tone." [HPO:curators] HP:0001252
