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/.

Term:Decreased calvarial ossification

Accession:HP:0005474 term browser browse the term
Definition:Abnormal reduction in ossification of the calvaria (roof of the skull consisting of the frontal bone, parietal bones, temporal bones, and occipital bone).
Comment:A hypomineralised skull castes little or no acoustic shadow on prenatal ultrasound. This makes visualisation of the intracranial anatomy clearer than normal. In conditions associated with profound hypomineralisation, the skull shape can be distorted by pressure from the ultrasound transducer later in pregnancy.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Poorly ossified calvaria;   Poorly ossified calvarium;   Soft calvaria;   Soft skullcap;   Undermineralized calvarium
 related_synonym: Skull soft on palpation
