LETHAL CONGENITAL CONTRACTURE SYNDROME 7; LCCS7

Description

Lethal congenital contracture syndrome-7, an axoglial form of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, is characterized by congenital distal joint contractures, polyhydramnios, reduced fetal movements, and severe motor paralysis leading to death early in the neonatal period (Laquerriere et al., 2014).For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of lethal congenital contracture syndrome, see LCCS1 (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of LETHAL CONGENITAL CONTRACTURE SYNDROME 7; LCCS7

  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Micrognathia
  • Cleft palate
  • Flexion contracture
  • Areflexia

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
