HPO HP:0012745 Short palpebral fissure "Distance between the medial and lateral canthi is more than 2 SD below the mean for age (objective); or, apparently reduced length of the palpebral fissures." [PMID:19125427] HP:0200007
HPO HP:0006610 Wide intermamillary distance "A larger than usual distance between the left and right nipple." [HPO:probinson] HP:0040157
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:0002188 Delayed CNS myelination "Delayed myelination in the central nervous system." [HPO:probinson] A delay in the process of myelination, which normally begins in the fifth fetal month and is about 90 percent complete at the age of two years. Myelination continues into early adulthood. HP:0011400, HP:0012448
HPO HP:0003320 C1-C2 subluxation "A partial dislocation of the atlantoaxial joints." [HPO:curators] A subluxation affecting the intervertebral joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae. HP:0003308, HP:0008440
HPO HP:0000966 Hypohidrosis "Abnormally diminished capacity to sweat." [HPO:probinson] HP:0007550
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:0011344 Severe global developmental delay "A severe delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child." [DDD:hvfirth] HP:0001263
HPO HP:0002024 Malabsorption "Impaired ability to absorb one or more nutrients from the intestine." [HPO:probinson] HP:0002242
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: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:curators] HP:0000002, HP:0001510
HPO HP:0010627 Anterior pituitary hypoplasia "Underdevelopment of the anterior pituitary gland." [DDD:spark, HPO:probinson] HP:0010625
HPO HP:0007328 Impaired pain sensation "Reduced ability to perceive painful stimuli." [HPO:probinson] HP:0010832
HPO HP:0033078 Decreased circulating free T4 level "A reduced concentration of free thyroxine (fT4) in the blood circulation." [] HP:0033076
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:0001522 Death in infancy "Death within the first 24 months of life." [HPO:probinson] HP:0011420
HPO HP:0031861 Decreased heart rate variability "Reduced variation of beat-to-beat intervals of the heart that occurs in conjunction with the respiratory cycle." [ORCID:0000-0001-5356-4174, PMID:8598068] HP:0031860
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:0000522 Alacrima "Absence of tear secretion." [HPO:probinson] Alacrima is generally a congenital deficiency. HP:0000633
HPO HP:0001319 Neonatal hypotonia "Muscular hypotonia (abnormally low muscle tone) manifesting in the neonatal period." [HPO:curators] HP:0001252
HPO HP:0000871 Panhypopituitarism "A pituitary functional deficit affecting all the anterior pituitary hormones (growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and prolactin)." [HPO:probinson, PMID:12466332] HP:0000830
HPO HP:0002353 EEG abnormality "Abnormality observed by electroencephalogram (EEG), which is used to record of the brain's spontaneous electrical activity from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp." [HPO:curators] HP:0030178
HPO HP:0000369 Low-set ears "Upper insertion of the ear to the scalp below an imaginary horizontal line drawn between the inner canthi of the eye and extending posteriorly to the ear." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19152421] HP:0000357
HPO HP:0003196 Short nose "Distance from nasion to subnasale more than two standard deviations below the mean, or alternatively, an apparently decreased length from the nasal root to the nasal tip." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19152422] Note: a small nose has both decreased height and a decreased width. These should be coded separately. HP:0005105
HPO HP:0011421 Death in adolescence "Death during adolescence, the period between childhood and adulthood (roughly between the ages of 10 and 19 years)." [HPO:probinson] HP:0011420
