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:Anencephaly is a developmental anomaly characterized by a fetus that has no calvarium, with a lack of most or all of the fetus' brain tissue. Anencephaly belongs to a collective group known as neural tube defects (NTD) and is a result of the neural tube failing to close in its rostral end during fetal development.
Comment:See Figure 3 of PMID:32706613.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Embryonic anencephaly;   Fetal anencephaly;   Foetal anencephaly
