Tricho-hepato-enteric syndrome

Tricho-hepato-enteric syndrome (THE), also known as syndromic or phenotypic diarrhea, is an extremely rare congenital bowel disorder which manifests itself as intractable diarrhea in infants with intrauterine growth retardation, hair and facial abnormalities

Trichoepithelioma multiple familial

An inherited skin disorder characterized by a number of small tumors that occur on the face. The number of tumors is variable with most of the face being covered in some cases.

Trichofolliculoma

A benign hair tumor which looks like a small lump with a tuft of hair growing out of it. The hair is often white and short. They often occur around the nose area.

Trichomalacia

A rare genetic condition resulting in patchy hair loss in children. It is an abnormality of the hair shaft and can be due to a compulsive habit of pulling hair on the head or even eyelashes and eyebrows

Trichomegaly cataract hereditary spherocytosis

A rare syndrome characterized mainly by cataracts, excessive eyelash growth and and a blood abnormality (the red blood cells are spherical instead of doughnut shaped which makes them fragile).

Trichorrhexis nodosa syndrome

Trichorrhexis nodosa is a problem in which thickened or weak points (nodes) along the hair shaft cause your hair to break off easily.

Trichoscyphodysplasia

A rare inherited skeletal disorder involving abnormal bone development which results in short stature, short hands and feet and alopecia is also present.

Trichostasis spinulosa

Trichostasis spinulosa is also called “bundle bush hair”. Instead of one hair protruding from a hair follicle, bundle or bush of hair come out of a single follicle. It has no pathological significance.

Trichothiodystrophy

A rare inherited skin disorder characterized by red, dry, scaly skin (I - ichthyosis), brittle hair (B), impaired physical and mental development (I), decreased fertility (D) and short stature (S). It is the same as PIBIDS syndrome but doesn't involve photosensitivity.

Trichotillomania

Trichotillomania is hair loss caused by compulsive pulling or twisting of the hair until it breaks off.

Tricuspid atresia

Tricuspid atresia is a type of congenital heart disease in which the tricuspid heart valve is missing or abnormally developed. The defect blocks blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.

Triopia

Triopia: An extremely rare malformation characterized by the presence of an extra eye.

Triphalangeal thumb non opposable

Triphalangeal thumb, non opposable: A thumb deformity where the thumb looks like a finger - it has three bones instead of the normal two. The hand appears to have five fingers instead of 4 fingers and a thumb.

Triphalangeal thumbs brachyectrodactyly

Triphalangeal thumbs brachyectrodactyly: Another name for Carnevale-Hernandez-Castillo syndrome (or close medical condition association). Carnevale-Hernandez-Castillo syndrome: An extremely rare disorder characterized by missing digits or parts of digits and a thumb that has three bones like a finger instead of the normal two.

triple-negative breast cancer

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for about 10-15% of all breast cancers. The term triple-negative breast cancer refers to the fact that the cancer cells don’t have estrogen or progesterone receptors (ER or PR) and also don’t make any or too much of the protein called HER2. (The cells test “negative” on all 3 tests.) These cancers tend to be more common in women younger than age 40, who are Black, or who have a BRCA1 mutation. TNBC differs from other types of invasive breast cancer in that it tends to grow and spread faster, has fewer treatment options, and tends to have a worse prognosis (outlook).

Trisomy 1 mosaicism

Trisomy 1 mosaicism: A very rare chromosomal disorder where there is an extra copy of chromosome 1 in some of the body's cells. This chromosomal abnormality is believed to result in death of the fertilized cells even before implantation in the uterus and hence no fetus ever develops with this disorder.

Trisomy 11 mosaicism

Trisomy 11 mosaicism: A very rare chromosomal disorder where there is an extra copy of chromosome 11 in some of the body's cells. Generally this chromosomal abnormality has not presented with any clinical symptoms that have been reported.

Trisomy 12 mosaicism

Trisomy 12 mosaicism: A very rare chromosomal disorder where there is an extra copy of chromosome 12 in some of the body's cells. Some cases with this chromosomal abnormality have no clinical symptoms. The presence of abnormalities in some cases is dependent on which body cells contain the chromosomal defect.
