Orpha Number: 254346

Definition
19p13.12 microdeletion syndrome is a newly described syndrome characterized by moderate to severe developmental delay, language delay, bilateral sensorineural and/or conductive hearing loss and facial dysmorphism.

Epidemiology
It has been reported in 6 patients to date.

Clinical description
Facial dysmorphism includes brachycephaly, anteverted nares, and ear malformations. Cardiac defects and abnormal behavior characterized by auto- and hetero-aggressivity and hyperactivity can be observed.

Etiology
This interstitial microdeletion was identified by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) microarray and its size is variable.

This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.
