Phenotypes associated with the disease 15q14 microdeletion syndrome (OMIM:616898):
- Highly arched eyebrow (HP:0002553): Increased height of the central portion of the eyebrow, forming a crescent, semicircular, or inverted U shape. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:616898)
- Tented upper lip vermilion (HP:0010804): Triangular appearance of the oral aperture with the apex in the midpoint of the upper vermilion and the lower vermilion forming the base. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:616898)
- Congenital onset (HP:0003577): A phenotypic abnormality that is present at birth. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:17163532)
- Cleft palate (HP:0000175): Cleft palate is a developmental defect of the palate resulting from a failure of fusion of the palatine processes and manifesting as a separation of the roof of the mouth (soft and hard palate). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:17163532)
- Moderate intellectual disability (HP:0002342): Moderate intellectual disability (ID) is defined as a type of ID characterized by moderately sub-average adaptive functioning and intellectual functioning, with an intelligence quotient (IQ) the range of 35-49. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:17163532)
- Everted lower lip vermilion (HP:0000232): An abnormal configuration of the lower lip such that it is turned outward i.e., everted, with the Inner aspect of the lower lip vermilion (normally opposing the teeth) being visible in a frontal view. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:616898)
- Hypotonia (HP:0001252): 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: 1/1. (PMID:17163532)
- Global developmental delay (HP:0001263): 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. This term should only be used to describe children younger than five years of age. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:17163532)
- Cleft lip (HP:0410030): A gap in the lip or lips. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:616898)
- Ventricular septal defect (HP:0001629): A hole between the two bottom chambers (ventricles) of the heart. The defect is centered around the most superior aspect of the ventricular septum. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:616898)
- Recurrent viral upper respiratory tract infections (HP:0033166): An increased susceptibility to viral upper respiratory tract infections as manifested by a history of recurrent viral upper respiratory tract infections (otitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:17163532)
- High forehead (HP:0000348): An abnormally increased height of the forehead. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:616898)
- Pointed chin (HP:0000307): A marked tapering of the lower face to the chin. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:17163532)
- Short philtrum (HP:0000322): 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. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:17163532)
- Atrial septal defect (HP:0001631): Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital abnormality of the interatrial septum that enables blood flow between the left and right atria via the interatrial septum. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:17163532)
- Posteriorly rotated ears (HP:0000358): A type of abnormal location of the ears in which the position of the ears is characterized by posterior rotation (the superior part of the ears is rotated towards the back of the head, and the inferior part of the ears towards the front). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:17163532)
- Low-set ears (HP:0000369): 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. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:17163532)
- Intellectual disability (HP:0001249): The term intellectual disability or intellectual developmental disorder is used to describe significantly sub-average intellectual and adaptive functioning based on clinical assessment and as measured by individually administered, appropriately normed, standardized and validated tests of intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, with onset during the developmental period from infancy through adolescence. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:616898)
- Autosomal dominant inheritance (HP:0000006): 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. Evidence: PCS. (PMID:17163532)
