| Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
| 616286 | OMIM | Lethal congenital contracture syndrome 7 (LCCS7) | A form of lethal congenital contracture syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by degeneration of anterior horn neurons, extreme skeletal muscle atrophy and congenital non-progressive joint contractures. The contractures can involve the upper or lower limbs and/or the vertebral column, leading to various degrees of flexion or extension limitations evident at birth. LCCS7 is a severe axoglial disease characterized by congenital distal joint contractures, polyhydramnios, reduced fetal movements, and motor paralysis leading to death early in the neonatal period. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
| 618186 | OMIM | Neuropathy, congenital hypomyelinating, 3 (CHN3) | A form of congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy, a neurologic disorder characterized by early-onset hypotonia, areflexia, distal muscle weakness, and very slow nerve conduction velocities (NCV) resulting from improper myelination of axons. In its extreme form, it may present with severe joint contractures or arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and respiratory insufficiency. In less severe cases patients may achieve walking. Patients lack both active myelin breakdown and well-organized onion bulbs on sural nerve biopsies, have absence of inflammation, and show hypomyelination of most or all fibers. CHN3 is a severe autosomal recessive form characterized by onset of neurogenic muscle impairment in utero. Affected individuals have profoundly impaired psychomotor development and may die in infancy or early childhood. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
