Mosaic trisomy 15 syndrome

What it is

Mosaic trisomy 15 is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome principally characterized by intrauterine growth restriction, congenital cardiac anomalies (incl. ventricular and atrial septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus) and craniofacial dysmorphism (incl. hypertelorism, downslanting palpebral fissures, wide nasal bridge). Patients also present brain (e.g. hypoplastic cerebellum, ventricular asymmetry), renal (e.g. small dysplastic kidneys), and/or genital (undescended testis, small penis, hypoplastic labia majora) anomalies. Digital and skin pigmentation abnormalities have also been reported.

Key facts

Prevalence

Age of onset

Antenatal, Neonatal

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.

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.
