Orphanet is an online database of rare diseases and orphan drugs. Reference: Access aggregated data from Orphanet at Orphadata.Reference: UMLS Vocabulary Standards and Mappings Downloadsĭata from Orphanet and Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) are used to provide information on a disease's symptoms, genes, inheritance, population estimates, and more.The National Library of Medicine's Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) is used to classify and organize diseases and disease categories. Estimated Number of People with this Disease Diagnosis is based on ultrasound findings or the presence of characteristic symptoms such as kidney malfunction and difficulty breathing. The inheritance pattern depends on the specific genetic cause. The underlying cause of the sequence is often undetermined, but it may be genetic in some cases. There are various causes of Potter sequence including failure of the kidneys to develop (bilateral renal agenesis), polycystic kidney diseases, prune belly syndrome, rupture of membranes surrounding the baby, and other kidney abnormalities. Other associated features may include eye malformations and heart defects. Having low amniotic fluid can also result in underdevelopment of the lungs (pulmonary hypoplasia).
SYMPTOMS OF LOW AMNIOTIC FLUID SKIN
This can cause distinct facial features (Potter facies), which may include a flattened nose, recessed chin, skin folds covering the corners of the eyes (epicanthal folds), and low-set abnormal ears. Potter sequence refers to a group of features that can result when there is too little amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios) surrounding a baby while in the uterus.
