Definition
Tetrasomy 9p is a rare autosomal anomaly characterized by pre- and postnatal growth retardation, psychomotor delay, mild to moderate intellectual disability, hypotonia, microcephaly, dysmorphic features (ocular hypertelorism, low-set, malformed ears, bulbous/beaked nose, microretrognathia, enophthalmos/micropthalmia, epicanthus, strabismus), cleft lip/palate, skeletal abnormalities (hypoplastic nails/distal phalanges, short stature, short neck, contractures), congenital heart defects, renal and urogenital malformations (renal hypoplasia, genital hypoplasia, cryptorchidism).

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.

Support and advocacy groups can help you connect with other patients and families, and they can provide valuable services. Many develop patient-centered information and are the driving force behind research for better treatments and possible cures. They can direct you to research, resources, and services. Many organizations also have experts who serve as medical advisors or provide lists of doctors/clinics. Visit the group’s website or contact them to learn about the services they offer. Inclusion on this list is not an endorsement by GARD.
