The clinical features depend on the deletion size and the number and type of involved genes. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare chromosomal anomaly with characteristics of developmental delay, mild to moderate intellectual disability, epilepsy, and unspecific dysmorphic signs. High palate, delayed permanent tooth eruption, hypoplastic fingernails, clinodactyly and short fingers have also been reported. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare chromosomal anomaly with characteristics of moderate intellectual disability, speech delay, postnatal microcephaly, eczema or atopic dermatitis, characteristic facial features (malar flattening, prominent nose, underdeveloped alae nasi, smooth philtrum, and thin vermillion of the upper lip) and reduced sensitivity to pain. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare chromosomal anomaly with characteristics of prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, developmental delay, intellectual impairment, dysmorphic signs and variable combination of congenital anomalies, including cardiovascular, genitourinary and skeletal anomalies and spectrum of caudal malformations. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare chromosomal anomaly with characteristics of speech and language disorder, predominantly presenting as an apraxia of speech, sometimes associated with oral motor dyspraxia, dysarthria, receptive and expressive language disorder, and hearing loss. Individuals with larger deletions in this region have also been reported to display intellectual disability and autism. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare chromosomal anomaly with characteristics of variable clinical features that may include developmental delay, mild intellectual disability and dysmorphic facial features. In some cases, microcephaly, growth retardation and congenital heart defects have been reported. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare chromosomal disorder with a highly variable clinical presentation. Most patients have multiple malformations affecting the eyes (iris coloboma), ears (preauricular pits and/or tags), anal region (anal atresia), heart and kidneys. Intellectual disability is usually mild or borderline normal. Most patients have a small supernumerary bi-satellited marker chromosome that results in partial tetrasomy of 22pter-22q11. In one third of cases, this extra chromosome is present in a mosaic state. Other cytogenetic anomalies have been rarely reported, including partial trisomy of chromosome 22 and intrachromosomal triplication of the 22q11 region. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare chromosome Y structural anomaly, with a highly variable phenotype, mostly characterized by short stature, partial to total gonadal failure, sexual infantilism, genital anomalies (e.g. ambiguous genitalia, hypospadias, cryptorchidism), and azoospermia or oligozoospermia. Additional reported features include speech delay, obesity, and acanthosis nigricans. Gender dysphoria and comorbid bipolar disorder have also been observed. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare chronic immune-mediated polyneuropathy characterized by a progressive disabling neuropathy with marked gait disturbance primarily due to sensory ataxia with concurrent cranial neuropathies (internal or external ophthalmoplegia, dysphagia, dysarthria, or facial weakness) and anti-disialosyl IgM antibodies. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare ciliopathy characterized by congenital cataract with secondary glaucoma, developmental delay, short stature, multiple skeletal abnormalities (spinal deformities, limb anomalies, delayed bone age), dental anomalies (oligodontia, enamel defects), dysmorphic facial features (including coarse facies, low hairline, epicanthal folds, flat and broad nasal bridges, and retrognathia), and stroke. Other recurrent manifestations are hearing loss and nephrocalcinosis. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare ciliopathy characterized by oral anomalies (multiple oral frenula, missing incisors), facial dysmorphism (such as square face with small forehead, upslanting palpebral fissures, and cleft lip, among other features), digital anomalies (brachydactyly, brachymesophalangy, polydactyly), and short stature. Additional reported manifestations include short femoral neck, bilateral cervical ribs, abnormal vertebral bodies, and gracile long bones. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare ciliopathy characterized by the association of nephronophthisis and liver fibrosis. Renal manifestations include chronic renal failure, polyuria, polydipsia, anemia, as well as increased echogenicity on renal ultrasound and interstitial fibrosis and tubular dilation on biopsy. Hepatic involvement manifests as hepatosplenomegaly with extensive fibrosis, destruction of the bile ducts, and cholestasis. Mild psychomotor retardation and ocular symptoms, such as strabismus, nystagmus, retinal degeneration, and anisocoria, have been reported in some patients. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare ciliopathy with major skeletal involvement characterized by short ribs with an extremely narrow thorax, very short limbs, absent or very small fibulae, severe metaphyseal dysplasia of tubular bones, post-axial polydactyly, and defective ossification in the calvaria, vertebrae, pelvis, and bones of the hands and feet. Congenital anomalies of multiple other organs have also been described, such as polycystic kidneys, transposition of the great vessels, and atretic lesions of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract. Hydrops fetalis may be observed at an early gestational age. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare ciliopathy with major skeletal involvement characterized by short ribs, micromelia, limb bowing, polysyndactyly, absent ossification of the radii, tibiae and fibulae, as well as the bony elements of the hands and feet, and hypoplastic scapulae. Additional hallmarks of ciliopathic disease, such as laterality defects and cystic kidneys, have also been observed. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare clinical situation occurring in the context of Parkinson disease characterized by return or worsening of symptoms (including motor and/or non-motor symptoms) under antiparkinsonian therapy. Types of off-periods are Morning Off (experienced before the first dose of the day), Delayed On (occurring more frequently after the first dose of the day or after meals), Wearing Off (end-of-dose deterioration), Sudden Off (sudden transition from on to off), and Dose Failure. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare clinical variant of epidermolytic ichthyosis (EI) characterized by the presence of a blistering phenotype at birth and the development from early infancy of annular polycyclic erythematous scales on the trunk and extremities. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare clinically variable bone dysplasia syndrome with characteristics of hyperostosis of the long bones, skull, spine and pelvis, associated with severe pain in the extremities, a wide-based waddling gait, joint contractures, muscle weakness and easy fatigability. In more than 90% of patients, mutations in the transforming growth factor TGFB1 gene (19q13.1) are detected. Inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with reduced penetrance. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare closed dysraphism with stalk characterized by a dorsal midline dermal sinus tract lined by keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium extending to the intrathecal space. Other components such as hair follicles and shafts, mesenchymal derivatives (blood vessels and fibrous tissue) and occasionally nerve fibers can be observed. Inflamed granulation tissue containing mixed neutrophils, plasma cells, lymphocytes, and histiocytes is consistently found in the tract. It can also be associated with an intradural dermoid cyst. This malformation is at risk to cause intrathecal infections (meningitis, empyema) that justify prophylactic surgery. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare closed dysraphism with terminal stalk with characteristics of persistant rudimentary spinal cord below conus. It contains non-functional neural tissue and is typically isolated. The diagnostic is suggested by attenuated conus without fat, further confirmed by pathological analysis (glioneuronal core with ependyma-lined lumen, nerve roots, and dorsal root ganglia). Differential diagnostic with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring is mandatory as neuroimaging fails to distinguish it from functional conus. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
