9p13 microdeletion syndrome

What it is

9p13 microdeletion syndrome is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome, resulting from a partial interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 9, characterized by mild to moderate developmental delay, hand tremors, myoclonic jerks, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder and a social personality. Patients also present bruxism, short stature and minor facial dysmorphic features (e.g., bilateral epicantic folds, broad, flat nasal bridge, anteverted nares, low-set ears micro/retro-gnathia).

Malformation syndrome

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
