Entire Body System
- Short Stature
Short stature is common, as are various hearing and vision problems. Behavioral problems can occur, sometimes causing patients to exhibit autistic-like behaviors. [en.wikibooks.org]
Characteristic clinical features include short stature, mental retardation, hypotonia, facial and distal skeletal abnormalities. The presence of the syndrome is usually evident at or soon after birth. [radiopaedia.org]
Short stature and poor growth are common features of individuals with 18q deletions. GH deficiency is common in this cohort of patients and probably plays a role in the short stature seen in many of the affected individuals. [academic.oup.com]
The might also have seizures, low muscle tone (hypotonia), speech and language delays, obesity, and short stature. Chromosome testing of both parents can provide more information on whether or not the deletion was inherited. [malacards.org]
The main clinical features are short stature, round face with short philtrum, palpebral ptosis and large ears with detached pinnae. Intellectual deficiency is mild to moderate. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
- Developmental Delay
delay and mental retardation ocular movement disorders seizures autism Chromosome 18q syndrome appears to result from a spontaneous, sporadic chromosomal error during very early embryonic development. [radiopaedia.org]
Features that often occur in people with proximal chromosome 18q deletion syndrome include developmental delay, intellectual disability, and distinctive facial features. [malacards.org]

- Multiple Congenital Anomalies
United Arab Emirates El Kalla et al. (1992) reported the case of an infant with multiple congenital anomalies, and tetralogy of Fallot. Karyotypic analysis revealed a karyotype of 45, X, t(Y;18)(q12;11.2). [cags.org.ae]

The third patient was born with multiple congenital anomalies, affecting the head, face, heart, legs and muscles. His karyotype showed extremely large p arms of chromosome 15, Figure 5, but we could not establish the cause of this peculiar aspect. [tmj.ro]

- Failure to Thrive
Chromosome 16q deletion syndrome is mainly characterized by developmental delay, craniofacial anomalies, hypotonia, failure to thrive, feeding difficulties, mental retardation. [tmj.ro]
At the age of 5 she weighed only 26 pounds and a g-tube was placed for failure to thrive and aspiration problems. [mumsnet.com]
Failure to thrive, infantile cataracts, mental retardation. Progressive hepatic failure, cirrhosis, death. Galactokinase-deficiency: infantile cataracts are prominent. Treatment: in either case, remove galactose from diet. [kumc.edu]

Cardiovascular
- Heart Disease
Common challenges include learning disability, hearing or vision impairment, autism, heart disease, autoimmune disorders or neuromuscular disorders. [rareconnect.org]
The deletion was regarded as causal of the heart disease in the index patient because of the association between heart disease and deletions of 18q. 9. dup(18)(q21.31q22.2): a transmitted Group 2 duplication of ~12 Mb from 18q21.31 to 18q22.2 was reported [ngrl.org.uk]
Limb anomalies (including clubfoot, short thumbs) Eye movement disorders Genital hypoplasia: incomplete development of the genitals Hypotonia: poor muscle tone Hearing impairment Heart disease Skin manifestations Autism Behavioral Problems: might include [ulf.org]
The symptoms are palatal abnormalities, congenital heart disease, facial dysmorphia, microcephaly, hypocalcemia and thymic hypoplasia with T-cell imunity defect. The treatment is dependent on the symptoms. It is important to start early. [wikilectures.eu]

In addition, in those with hearing impairment, recommended treatment may include surgical measures and/or the use of specialized hearing aids or additional supportive techniques that may aid communication. [rarediseases.org]
Fifteen patients (45%) had conductive hearing impairment (range: 30dB–70dB). Twelve of these 15 patients (80%) received hearing aids, which resulted in improved hearing but not in speech development. [journals.lww.com]
Two cases with impaired hearing are presented in this paper including one case with complex external ear and middle ear malformations. The clinical and audiological features in each case are described. [cambridge.org]

Workup
Because this is a more expensive test, it is often not the first test ordered during a diagnostic workup. However, it is a much more precise test than a routine chromosome analysis. [chromosome18.org]
Treatment
Recent research has uncovered potential treatment for short stature and dysmyelination caused by 18q-. Growth hormone treatment has been shown to potentially increase IQ in children with 18q-. [en.wikibooks.org]
