Phenotypes associated with the disease chromosome 3q13.31 deletion syndrome (OMIM:615433, an entry in Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man):
- Alobar holoprosencephaly (HP:0006988, a Human Phenotype Ontology term): A type of holoprosencephaly characterized by the presence of a single ventricle and no separation of the cerebral hemisphere. The single midline ventricle is often greatly enlarged. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/25. (PMID:22180640)
- Epicanthus (HP:0000286, a Human Phenotype Ontology term): A fold of skin starting above the medial aspect of the upper eyelid and arching downward to cover, pass in front of and lateral to the medial canthus. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 8/14. (PMID:22180640)
- Strabismus (HP:0000486, a Human Phenotype Ontology term): A misalignment of the eyes so that the visual axes deviate from bifoveal fixation. The classification of strabismus may be based on a number of features including the relative position of the eyes, whether the deviation is latent or manifest, intermittent or constant, concomitant or otherwise and according to the age of onset and the relevance of any associated refractive error. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 6/14. (PMID:22180640)
- Seizure (HP:0001250, a Human Phenotype Ontology term): A seizure is an intermittent abnormality of nervous system physiology characterized by a transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/25. (PMID:22180640)
- Agenesis of corpus callosum (HP:0001274, a Human Phenotype Ontology term): Absence of the corpus callosum as a result of the failure of the corpus callosum to develop, which can be the result of a failure in any one of the multiple steps of callosal development including cellular proliferation and migration, axonal growth or glial patterning at the midline. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 5/25. (PMID:22180640)
- Hypotonia (HP:0001252, a Human Phenotype Ontology term): Hypotonia is an abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle). Even when relaxed, muscles have a continuous and passive partial contraction which provides some resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia thus manifests as diminished resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 12/15. (PMID:22180640)

- Global developmental delay (HP:0001263, a Human Phenotype Ontology term): A delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child, including motor skills, speech and language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional skills.

- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (HP:0007018, a Human Phenotype Ontology term): Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) manifests at age 2-3 years or by first grade at the latest.
