| A rare subtype of distal arthrogryposis syndrome with characteristics of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita affecting the hands, feet, ankle, shoulders and/or neck, with camptodactyly of the fingers and limited knee and hip extension, associated with asymmetric ptosis and, less frequently, other ocular manifestations (for example ophthalmoplegia, strabismus). Affected individuals frequently have a bulbous nose, furrowed tongue, micro/retrognathia, a short neck, congenital hip dislocation, clubfeet, scoliosis and short stature. There is evidence the disease is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the ECEL1 gene on chromosome 2q36. |
