Global developmental delay HP:0001263 HP:0000754,HP:0001255,HP:0001277,HP:0001292,HP:0002433,HP:0002473,HP:0002532,HP:0006793,HP:0006867,HP:0006885,HP:0006935,HP:0007005,HP:0007094,HP:0007106,HP:0007174,HP:0007224,HP:0007228,HP:0007342,HP:0025356 A delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child, including motor skills, speech and language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional skills. This term should only be used to describe children younger than five years of age.

Myoclonus is less regularly repetitive and less sustained than is clonus.
Intellectual disability HP:0001249 HP:0000730,HP:0001267,HP:0001286,HP:0002122,HP:0002192,HP:0002316,HP:0002382,HP:0002386,HP:0002402,HP:0002458,HP:0002482,HP:0002499,HP:0002543,HP:0003767,HP:0006833,HP:0006877,HP:0007154,HP:0007176,HP:0007180 Intellectual disability, previously referred to as mental retardation, is characterized by subnormal intellectual functioning that occurs during the developmental period. It is defined by an IQ score below 70.
Abnormal homeostasis HP:0012337 None An anomaly in the processes involved in the maintenance of an internal equilibrium.
Non-motor seizure HP:0033259 None A seizure with clinical manifestation but without motor signs (other than possible behavior arrest) as its initial clinical manifestation. The electrographic onset may be generalized, focal, or unknown.
Autosomal dominant inheritance HP:0000006 HP:0001415,HP:0001447,HP:0001448,HP:0001451,HP:0001452,HP:0001455,HP:0001456,HP:0001463 A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.
Focal emotional seizure HP:0025613 None Seizures presenting with an emotion or the appearance of having an emotion as an early prominent feature, such as fear, spontaneous joy or euphoria, laughing (gelastic), or crying, (dacrystic). These emotional seizures may occur with or without objective clinical signs of a seizure evident to the observer.
Weakness due to upper motor neuron dysfunction HP:0010549 None Paralysis of voluntary muscles means loss of contraction due to interruption of one or more motor pathways from the brain to the muscle fibers. Although the word paralysis is often used interchangeably to mean either complete or partial loss of muscle strength, it is preferable to use paralysis or plegia for complete or severe loss of muscle strength, and paresis for partial or slight loss. Paralysis due to lesions of the principle motor tracts is related to a lesion in the corticospinal, corticobulbar or brainstem descending (subcorticospinal) neurons.
Hypertonia HP:0001276 HP:0002388 A condition in which there is increased muscle tone so that arms or legs, for example, are stiff and difficult to move.

This causes a variety of elementary neurological deficits including asynergy (lack of coordination between muscles, limbs and joints), dysmetria (lack of ability to judge distances that can lead to under- or overshoot in grasping movements), and dysdiadochokinesia (inability to perform rapid movements requiring antagonizing muscle groups to be switched on and off repeatedly).
Myoclonic seizure HP:0032794 None A myoclonic seizure is a type of motor seizure characterized by sudden, brief (<100 ms) involuntary single or multiple contraction of muscles or muscle groups of variable topography (axial, proximal limb, distal). Myoclonus is less regularly repetitive and less sustained than is clonus.
Epileptic encephalopathy HP:0200134 None A condition in which epileptiform abnormalities are believed to contribute to the progressive disturbance in cerebral function. Epileptic encephalaopathy is characterized by (1) electrographic EEG paroxysmal activity that is often aggressive, (2) seizures that are usually multiform and intractable, (3) cognitive, behavioral and neurological deficits that may be relentless, and (4) sometimes early death.
Simple febrile seizure HP:0011171 None A short generalized seizure, of a duration of <15 min, not recurring within 24 h, occurring during a febrile episode not caused by an acute disease of the nervous system intracranial infection or severe metabolic disturbance.
Postural instability HP:0002172 None A tendency to fall or the inability to keep oneself from falling; imbalance. The retropulsion test is widely regarded as the gold standard to evaluate postural instability, Use of the retropulsion test includes a rapid balance perturbation in the backward direction, and the number of balance correcting steps (or total absence thereof) is used to rate the degree of postural instability. Healthy subjects correct such perturbations with either one or two large steps, or without taking any steps, hinging rapidly at the hips while swinging the arms forward as a counterweight. In patients with balance impairment, balance correcting steps are often too small, forcing patients to take more than two steps. Taking three or more steps is generally considered to be abnormal, and taking more than five steps is regarded as being clearly abnormal. Markedly affected patients continue to step backward without ever regaining their balance and must be caught by the examiner (this would be called true retropulsion). Even more severely affected patients fail to correct entirely, and fall backward like a pushed toy soldier, without taking any corrective steps.

Hypotonia HP:0001252 HP:0011398 Hypotonia is an abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle). Even when relaxed, muscles have a continuous and passive partial contraction which provides some resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia thus manifests as diminished resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist.

Microcephaly is defined as a head circumference (HC) that is great than two standard deviations below the mean of age- and gender-matched population based samples. Severe microcephaly is defined with an HC that is three standard deviations below the mean.

There are situations when severe nausea may be present without emesis and less frequently, when emesis may be present without preceding nausea.
