Split hand- MedGen UID:
- 397570
- •Concept ID:
- C2699510
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
A condition in which middle parts of the hand (fingers and metacarpals) are missing giving a cleft appearance. The severity is very variable ranging from slightly hypoplastic middle fingers over absent middel fingers as far as oligo- or monodactyl hands.
Abnormal foot morphology- MedGen UID:
- 1762829
- •Concept ID:
- C5399834
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
An abnormality of the skeleton of foot.
Clumsiness- MedGen UID:
- 66690
- •Concept ID:
- C0233844
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Lack of physical coordination resulting in an abnormal tendency to drop items or bump into objects.
Steppage gait- MedGen UID:
- 98105
- •Concept ID:
- C0427149
- •
- Finding
An abnormal gait pattern that arises from weakness of the pretibial and peroneal muscles due to a lower motor neuron lesion. Affected patients have footdrop and are unable to dorsiflex and evert the foot. The leg is lifted high on walking so that the toes clear the ground, and there may be a slapping noise when the foot strikes the ground again.
Muscular dystrophy- MedGen UID:
- 44527
- •Concept ID:
- C0026850
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
The term dystrophy means abnormal growth. However, muscular dystrophy is used to describe primary myopathies with a genetic basis and a progressive course characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness and wasting, defects in muscle proteins, and histological features of muscle fiber degeneration (necrosis) and regeneration. If possible, it is preferred to use other HPO terms to describe the precise phenotypic abnormalities.
Joint contracture of the hand- MedGen UID:
- 56382
- •Concept ID:
- C0158113
- •
- Finding
Contractures of one ore more joints of the hands meaning chronic loss of joint motion due to structural changes in non-bony tissue.
Distal muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 140883
- •Concept ID:
- C0427065
- •
- Finding
Reduced strength of the musculature of the distal extremities.
Distal amyotrophy- MedGen UID:
- 338530
- •Concept ID:
- C1848736
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Muscular atrophy affecting muscles in the distal portions of the extremities.
Rimmed vacuoles- MedGen UID:
- 340089
- •Concept ID:
- C1853932
- •
- Finding
Presence of abnormal vacuoles (membrane-bound organelles) in the sarcolemma. On histological staining with hematoxylin and eosin, rimmed vacuoles are popcorn-like clear vacuoles with a densely blue rim. The vacuoles are often associated with cytoplasmic and occasionally intranuclear eosinophilic inclusions.
EMG: myopathic abnormalities- MedGen UID:
- 867362
- •Concept ID:
- C4021726
- •
- Pathologic Function
The presence of abnormal electromyographic patterns indicative of myopathy, such as small-short polyphasic motor unit potentials.
Late-onset proximal muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 871110
- •Concept ID:
- C4025578
- •
- Finding
Lack of strength of the proximal musculature occurring late in the clinical course.
Mildly elevated creatine kinase- MedGen UID:
- 342469
- •Concept ID:
- C1850309
- •
- Finding
- Abnormality of limbs
- Abnormality of metabolism/homeostasis
- Abnormality of the musculoskeletal system
- Abnormality of the nervous system
