Distal duplication 7p syndrome

What it is

Distal trisomy 7p is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome, resulting from the partial duplication of the short arm of chromosome 7, with highly variable phenotype typically characterized by severe to profound psychomotor delay, intellectual disability, dysmorphic features (incl. dolichocephaly, microbrachycephaly, high and/or broad forehead, large anterior fontanel, hypertelorism, downslanting palpebral fissures, low-set, dysplastic ears, low, broad and prominent nasal bridge, abnormal palate, micro-/retrognathia), and hypotonia. Cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, skeletal and urogenital anomalies have commonly been reported.

Classified as

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.

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.
