PHIP-related behavioral problems-intellectual disability-obesity-dysmorphic features syndrome

What it is

A rare genetic multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterized by variable developmental delay and intellectual disability, overweight or obesity, behavioral abnormalities (including hyperactivity, aggressive behavior, anxiety, mood disorder, or autistic features), and facial dysmorphism (such as high forehead, full eyebrows and/or synophrys, upturned nose, and fleshy ears, among others). Additional reported manifestations are hypotonia, ocular anomalies, anomalies of the fingers and toes, joint hypermobility, or abnormal pigmentation. Brain imaging may show mild nonspecific abnormalities.

Disease

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.
