Vesicoureteral reflux- MedGen UID:

- Disease or Syndrome
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is characterized by the reflux of urine from the bladder into the ureters and sometimes into the kidneys. It is a risk factor for urinary tract infections. Primary VUR results from a developmental defect of the ureterovesical junction (UVJ). In combination with intrarenal reflux, the resulting inflammatory reaction may result in renal injury or scarring, also called reflux nephropathy (RN). Extensive renal scarring impairs renal function and may predispose patients to hypertension, proteinuria, and renal insufficiency (summary by Lu et al., 2007).
Genetic Heterogeneity of Vesicoureteral Reflux
A locus designated VUR1 maps to chromosome 1p13. VUR2 (610878) is caused by mutation in the ROBO2 gene (602431) on chromosome 3p12; VUR3 (613674) is caused by mutation in the SOX17 gene (610928) on chromosome 8q11; VUR4 (614317) maps to chromosome 5; VUR5 (614318) maps to chromosome 13; VUR6 (614319) maps to chromosome 18; VUR7 (615390) maps to chromosome 12; and VUR8 (615963) is caused by mutation in the TNXB gene (600985) on chromosome 6p21. A possible X-linked form has been reported (VURX; 314550).
Hypospadias- MedGen UID:
- 163083
- •Concept ID:
- C0848558
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
Abnormal position of urethral meatus on the ventral penile shaft (underside) characterized by displacement of the urethral meatus from the tip of the glans penis to the ventral surface of the penis, scrotum, or perineum.
Crossed fused renal ectopia- MedGen UID:
- 372130
- •Concept ID:
- C1835796
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
A developmental anomaly in which the kidneys are fused and localized on the same side of the midline. This anomaly is thought to result from disruption of the normal embryologic migration of the kidneys.

- 342474
- •Concept ID:
- C1850327
- •
- Finding
The presence of a bifid uterus.
Imperforate anus- MedGen UID:
- 1997
- •Concept ID:
- C0003466
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
Congenital absence of the anus, i.e., the opening at the bottom end of the intestinal tract.
Rectovaginal fistula- MedGen UID:
- 11152
- •Concept ID:
- C0034895
- •
- Finding
The presence of a fistula between the vagina and the rectum.
Microtia- MedGen UID:
- 57535
- •Concept ID:
- C0152423
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
Underdevelopment of the external ear.
Overfolded helix- MedGen UID:
- 325239
- •Concept ID:
- C1837731
- •
- Finding
A condition in which the helix is folded over to a greater degree than normal. That is, excessive curling of the helix edge, whereby the free edge is parallel to the plane of the ear.

- •Concept ID:
- C1845447
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
Laterally protruding ear that lacks antihelical folding (including absence of inferior and superior crura).

- 36380
- •Concept ID:
- C0080174
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
The closed form of spina bifida with incomplete closure of a vertebral body with intact overlying skin.

- 11348
- •Concept ID:
- C0036439
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
