A connection of the right and left kidney by an isthmus of functioning renal parenchyma or fibrous tissue that crosses the midline.

A fluid filled sac in the kidney.

Digits that appear disproportionately short compared to the hand/foot. The word brachydactyly is used here to describe a series distinct patterns of shortened digits (brachydactyly types A-E). This is the sense used here.

Diminished length of one or more metacarpal bones in relation to the others of the same hand or to the contralateral metacarpal.

Short distance from the end of the finger to the most distal interphalangeal crease or the distal interphalangeal joint flexion point. That is, hypoplasia of one or more of the distal phalanx of finger.

A hole between the two bottom chambers (ventricles) of the heart. The defect is centered around the most superior aspect of the ventricular septum.

A height below that which is expected according to age and gender norms. Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms).

Impaired ability to eat related to problems gathering food and getting ready to suck, chew, or swallow it.

Median longitudinal ear length greater than two standard deviations above the mean and median ear width greater than two standard deviations above the mean (objective); or, apparent increase in length and width of the pinna (subjective).

Upper insertion of the ear to the scalp below an imaginary horizontal line drawn between the inner canthi of the eye and extending posteriorly to the ear.

A failure to achieve the ability to walk at an appropriate developmental stage. Most children learn to walk in a series of stages, and learn to walk short distances independently between 12 and 15 months.

A degree of language development that is significantly below the norm for a child of a specified age.

A delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child, including motor skills, speech and language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional skills. This term should only be used to describe children younger than five years of age.

Intellectual disability, previously referred to as mental retardation, is characterized by subnormal intellectual functioning that occurs during the developmental period. It is defined by an IQ score below 70.

Craniosynostosis refers to the premature closure of the cranial sutures. Primary craniosynostosis refers to the closure of one or more sutures due to abnormalities in skull development, and secondary craniosynostosis results from failure of brain growth.

Developmental hypoplasia of the mandible.

Bilateral bulging of the lateral frontal bone prominences with relative sparing of the midline.

An abnormality of skeletal development characterized by a disturbance of the metaphysis and its histological structure with relatively normal epiphyses and vertebrae.

Occipitofrontal (head) circumference greater than 97th centile compared to appropriate, age matched, sex-matched normal standards. Alternatively, a apparently increased size of the cranium.

The presence of dysplastic regions in metaphyseal regions.

The palpebral fissure inclination is more than two standard deviations below the mean.

Decreased density/number of eyebrow hairs.

Thinned, deficient, or excessively arched ala nasi.

Increased width of the skin of vermilion border region of upper lip.

Increased width of the columella.

Distance between the hairline (trichion) and the glabella (the most prominent point on the frontal bone above the root of the nose), in the midline, more than two SD above the mean. Alternatively, an apparently increased distance between the hairline and the glabella.

Cafe-au-lait spots are hyperpigmented lesions that can vary in color from light brown to dark brown with smooth borders and having a size of 1.5 cm or more in adults and 0.5 cm or more in children.

A nail that is diminished in length and width, i.e., underdeveloped nail.

Decreased density/number of eyelashes.

Reduced density of hairs.

Inability to see well at night or in poor light.

A nonspecific term denoting degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium and/or retinal photoreceptor cells.

Loss of peripheral vision with retention of central vision, resulting in a constricted circular tunnel-like field of vision.

Decreased amount of autofluorescence in the retina as ascertained by fundus autofluorescence imaging.

An inherited retinal disease subtype in which the rod photoreceptors appear to be more severely affected than the cone photoreceptors. Typical presentation is with nyctalopia (due to rod dysfunction) followed by loss of mid-peripheral field of vision, which gradually extends and leaves many patients with a small central island of vision due to the preservation of macular cones.
