A cardiac murmur is often present but surgery is rarely necessary. Mean IQ is 48. The number of reported cases with an associated trisomy has previously been underestimated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
- Cyanosis
Some individuals may show no apparent symptoms (asymptomatic), while others may develop difficulties feeding, shortness of breath, profuse sweating, irritability, easy fatigability, bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes (cyanosis), and [rarediseases.org]

Breast
- Widely Spaced Nipples
Such abnormalities have included sudden episodes of uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain (seizures), widely spaced nipples, abnormal curvature of the spine, and/or, more rarely, incomplete closure (clefting) of the palate (cleft palate), bony [rarediseases.org]

Treatment
Standard Therapies Treatment The treatment of Chromosome 9, Partial Monosomy 9p is directed towards the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. [rarediseases.org]
In the other half, one parent is found to have the same deletion (possibly with no features) or a balanced translocation (which usually does not cause any features).[1] Treatment for chromosome 9p deletion is based on the signs and symptoms in each person [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Prevention
For individuals affected by seizures, treatment may include the administration of anticonvulsant medications to help prevent, reduce, or control seizure episodes. [rarediseases.org]
