Trisomy 9p is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome, resulting from a partial or complete trisomy of the short arm of chromosome 9, with a wide phenotypic variablility, typically characterized by intellectual disability, craniofacial dysmorphism (e.g. microcephaly, large anterior fontanel, hypertelorism, strabismus, downslanting palpebral fissures, malformed, low-set, protruding ears, bulbous nose, macrostomia, down-turned corners of mouth, micrognathia), digital anomalies (brachydactyly and clinodactyly), and short stature. Less frequently patients present with cardiopathy and renal, skeletal, and central nervous system malformations.
Features include very common findings: Brachycephaly, Microcephaly, Macrotia, and Protruding ear and others; and common findings: Hypertelorism, Downslanted palpebral fissures, Dental crowding, and Sacral dimple and others. 27 total HPO annotations.
