ARTHROGRYPOSIS MULTIPLEX CONGENITA, NEUROGENIC, WITH MYELIN DEFECT; AMCNMY
Description
AMCNMY is an autosomal recessive severe neurologic disorder with onset in utero. Most affected individuals die in utero or are subject to pregnancy termination because of lack of fetal movements and prenatal evidence of contractures of virtually all joints. Those who survive have generalized contractures and hypotonia. The disorder is caused by a neurogenic defect and poor or absent myelin formation around peripheral nerves rather than by a muscular defect (summary by Xue et al., 2017).
Most common symptoms of ARTHROGRYPOSIS MULTIPLEX CONGENITA, NEUROGENIC, WITH MYELIN DEFECT; AMCNMY
- Seizures
- Global developmental delay
- Generalized hypotonia
- Micrognathia
- Strabismus

HYPOMYELINATION NEUROPATHY-ARTHROGRYPOSIS SYNDROME
Description
Hypomyelination neuropathy-arthrogryposis syndrome is a rare, genetic, limb malformation syndrome characterized by multiple congenital distal joint contractures (incl. talipes equinovarus and both proximal and distal interphalangeal joint contractures of the hands) and very severe motor paralysis at birth (i.e. lack of swallowing, autonomous respiratory function and deep tendon reflexes), leading to death within first 3 months of life. Fetal hypo- or akinesia, late-onset polyhydramnios and dramatically reduced, or absent, motor nerve conduction velocities (<10 m/s) are frequently associated. Nerve ultrastructural morphology shows severe abnormalities of the nodes of Ranvier and myelinated axons.
Most common symptoms of HYPOMYELINATION NEUROPATHY-ARTHROGRYPOSIS SYNDROME
- Muscular hypotonia
- Respiratory distress
- Limitation of joint mobility
- EMG abnormality
- Reduced tendon reflexes
