List of Diseases (0-9)

The List of Diseases (0-9) encompasses a range of medical conditions whose names begin with numbers. This categorization is not common in medical literature but serves as an organizational method for diseases and conditions that are often referred to by numerical designations or have numbers as a significant part of their nomenclature. This list includes, but is not limited to, genetic disorders, syndromes, and diseases identified by their discovery order or characterized by numerical anomalies.

Diseases and Conditions

1p36 Deletion Syndrome

1p36 Deletion Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder characterized by moderate to severe intellectual disability, delayed growth, limited speech ability, and distinctive facial features. It results from a deletion on the short arm of chromosome 1.

22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, also known as DiGeorge syndrome, is a disorder caused by the deletion of a small piece of chromosome 22. This condition can result in heart defects, poor immune system function, a cleft palate, and developmental delays.

3q29 Microdeletion Syndrome

3q29 Microdeletion Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that can lead to developmental delay, intellectual disability, and psychiatric conditions. It is caused by a deletion of a small segment of the long arm of chromosome 3.

47,XXY (Klinefelter Syndrome)

47,XXY (Klinefelter Syndrome) is a genetic condition affecting males, characterized by an extra X chromosome. Symptoms may include reduced fertility, sparse facial and body hair, and enlarged breast tissue.

5p- Syndrome (Cri-du-Chat Syndrome)

5p- Syndrome (Cri-du-Chat Syndrome) is a rare genetic disorder resulting from the deletion of part of the short arm of chromosome 5. It is named after the distinctive cry of affected infants, which resembles that of a cat. Symptoms include intellectual disability, developmental delays, and distinctive facial features.
