HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:Infants normally have two fontanels at birth, the diamond-shaped anterior fontanelle at the junction of the coronal and sagittal sutures, and the posterior fontanelle at the intersection of the occipital and parietal bones. The posterior fontanelle usually closes by the 8th week of life, and the anterior fontanel closes by the 18th month of life on average. This term applies if there is delay of closure of the fontanelles beyond the normal age.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Broad late closing cranial sutures;   DELAYED CLOSURE OF FONTANELS;   Delayed closure of fontanel;   Delayed closure of fontanelles;   Delayed closure of the fontanelles;   Delayed fontanel closure;   Delayed fontanelle closure;   Late closing fontanelles;   Late closure of fontanelle;   Late-closing fontanelle;   Open sutures
