Distal deletion 19p syndrome

What it is

Distal monosomy 19p13.3 is a rare chromosomal anomaly associated with a wide range of phenotypic features depending on the size of the deletion. It may present with intrauterine growth retardation, failure to thrive, global developmental delay, dysmorphic features (such as broad forehead, midface retrusion, broad nasal bridge, micrognathia, smooth philtrum, low-set, dysplastic ears), congenital anomalies (such as atrial septal defect, gastrointestinal anomalies, renal and urogenital malformations, agenesis of the corpus callosum) and other clinical features (such as hearing loss, visual impairment and immune dysregulation).

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.
