Mosaic trisomy 10 syndrome

What it is

Mosaic trisomy 10 is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome, with a highly variable phenotype, principally characterized by growth delay, craniofacial dysmorphism (incl. prominent forehead, hypertelorism, upslanting palpebral fissures, blepharophimosis, low-set malformed large ears, high arched palate, cleft lip/palate, retrognathia) and cardiac, renal and skeletal (e.g. radial ray defects, scoliosis) malformations, with death usually ocurring neonatally or in early infancy. Other reported features include central nervous system and ear anomalies, as well as facial clefts and anal atresia.

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.

Related health topics

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