Preferred Label : Arthrogryposis, distal, type 2a;

CISMeF acronym : DA2A; FSS;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Whistling face-windmill vane hand syndrome; Craniocarpotarsal dysplasia; FSS; Freeman-sheldon syndrome; Craniocarpotarsal dystrophy;
Description : Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS), or DA2A, is phenotypically similar to DA1. In addition
to contractures of the hands and feet, FSS is characterized by oropharyngeal abnormalities,
scoliosis, and a distinctive face that includes a very small oral orifice (often only
a few millimeters in diameter at birth), puckered lips, and an H-shaped dimple of
the chin; hence, FSS has been called 'whistling face syndrome.' The limb phenotypes
of DA1 and FSS may be so similar that they can only be distinguished by the differences
in facial morphology (summary by Bamshad et al., 2009).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
