Chromosome 3q13.31 deletion syndrome
Definition
3q13 microdeletion syndrome is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome resulting from a partial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 3. Phenotype can be highly variable, but it is primarily characterized by significant developmental delay, postnatal growth above the mean, muscular hypotonia and distinctive facial features (such as broad and prominent forehead, hypertelorism, epicantic folds, anti-mongloid slanted eyes, ptosis, short philtrum, protruding lips with a full lower lip, high arched palate). Abnormal hypoplastic male genitalia and skeletal abnormalities are frequently present.
Also known as 3q13 microdeletion syndrome, chromosome 3q13.31 deletion syndrome, Del(3)(q13), monosomy 3q13 — per MONDO
