| | Chromosome 7, Partial Monosomy 7p |
 | | Chromosome 7, Partial Monosomy 7p is a rare chromosomal disorder characterized by deletion (monosomy) of a portion of the short arm (p) of chromosome 7 (7p). |
 | | Partial Monosomy 7p may also be characterized by additional physical features, such as growth deficiency, musculoskeletal abnormalities, genital defects, structural malformations of the heart that are present at birth (congenital heart defects), and/or other abnormalities. |
 | | Partial Monosomy 7p is also commonly characterized by premature closure of one or more fibrous joints (cranial sutures) between particular bones in the skull (craniosynostosis), potentially resulting in deformity of the skull and an unusually shaped head. |
