Question: What are the symptoms of Moebius syndrome ?
Answer: What are the signs and symptoms of Moebius syndrome? The Human Phenotype Ontology provides the following list of signs and symptoms for Moebius syndrome. If the information is available, the table below includes how often the symptom is seen in people with this condition. You can use the MedlinePlus Medical Dictionary to look up the definitions for these medical terms. Signs and Symptoms Approximate number of patients (when available) Abnormality of the voice 90% Mask-like facies 90% Open mouth 90% Ophthalmoparesis 90% Ptosis 90% Strabismus 90% Delayed speech and language development 55% Aplasia of the pectoralis major muscle 50% Brachydactyly syndrome 50% Feeding difficulties in infancy 50% Muscular hypotonia 50% Opacification of the corneal stroma 50% Talipes 50% Hypertelorism 25% Bifid uvula 11% Abnormality of the sense of smell 7.5% Abnormality of the ulna 7.5% Absent hand 7.5% Aplasia/Hypoplasia of the radius 7.5% Aplasia/Hypoplasia of the thumb 7.5% Aplasia/Hypoplasia of the tongue 7.5% Autism 7.5% Blepharitis 7.5% Breast aplasia 7.5% Cafe-au-lait spot 7.5% Cleft palate 7.5% Clinodactyly of the 5th finger 7.5% Epicanthus 7.5% Finger syndactyly 7.5% Hearing impairment 7.5% Microdontia 7.5% Reduced number of teeth 7.5% Skeletal muscle atrophy 7.5% Visual impairment 7.5% Abnormality of pelvic girdle bone morphology - Abnormality of the nail - Abnormality of the nasopharynx - Abnormality of the pinna - Abnormality of the posterior cranial fossa - Aplasia/Hypoplasia involving the metacarpal bones - Autosomal dominant inheritance - Camptodactyly - Clinodactyly - Clumsiness - Congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles - Decreased testicular size - Depressed nasal bridge - Dysarthria - Dysdiadochokinesis - Dysphagia - Esotropia - Exotropia - Facial diplegia - Gait disturbance - High palate - Hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism - Hypoplasia of the brainstem - Infantile muscular hypotonia - Intellectual disability, mild - Lower limb undergrowth - Micropenis - Microphthalmia - Motor delay - Pes planus - Phenotypic variability - Poor coordination - Radial deviation of finger - Respiratory difficulties - Short neck - Short phalanx of finger - Split hand - Sporadic - Syndactyly - Talipes equinovarus - The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) has collected information on how often a sign or symptom occurs in a condition. Much of this information comes from Orphanet, a European rare disease database. The frequency of a sign or symptom is usually listed as a rough estimate of the percentage of patients who have that feature. The frequency may also be listed as a fraction. The first number of the fraction is how many people had the symptom, and the second number is the total number of people who were examined in one study. For example, a frequency of 25/25 means that in a study of 25 people all patients were found to have that symptom. Because these frequencies are based on a specific study, the fractions may be different if another group of patients are examined. Sometimes, no information on frequency is available. In these cases, the sign or symptom may be rare or common.
