1) Abnormal smallness of the head, usually associated with mental retardation. (Dorland, 27th ed)

1) Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood; may result from excessive potassium loss by the renal or gastrointestinal route, from decreased intake, or from transcellular shifts; manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities, and by renal and gastrointestinal disorders.
2) Hypokalemia; lower than normal levels of potassium in the circulating blood.
3) A deficiency of potassium in the blood -- called also hypopotassemia.

1) Absence of a segment of DNA; may be as small as a single base or large enough to encompass one or more entire genes. Large deletions involving a whole segment of a chromosome may be detected by routine examination of the chromosomes; intermediate deletions involving a few genes may be detected by using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH); smaller deletions involving a portion of a gene may only be detected by analyzing the DNA.
2) A loss of part of the DNA from a chromosome; can lead to a disease or abnormality.
3) Deletion is a type of mutation involving the loss of genetic material. It can be small, involving a single missing DNA base pair, or large, involving a piece of a chromosome.
