Maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 4 is an uniparental disomy of maternal origin that most likely does not have any phenotypic expression except from cases of homozygosity for a recessive disease mutation for which only mother is a carrier.
Features include common findings: Rod-cone dystrophy, Pigmentary retinopathy, Nyctalopia, and Nervous system problems (abnormality of the nervous system) and others; and rarely findings: Neurogenic bladder, Inner ear hearing loss (sensorineural hearing impairment), Damage to the optic nerve (optic atrophy), and Diabetes insipidus and others.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Brain and nerves | 7 | Nervous system problems (abnormality of the nervous system), Depression, Delayed speech and language development |
