Description : Autosomal recessive lethal congenital contractural syndrome (LCCS) is the most severe,
neonatally lethal, form of arthrogryposis (see 108110), a disorder characterized by
congenital nonprogressive 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 (summary by Markus et al., 2012). - Genetic
Heterogeneity of Lethal Congenital Contracture Syndrome See also lethal congenital
contracture syndrome-2 (LCCS2; 607598), caused by mutation in the ERBB3 gene (190151);
LCCS3 (611369), caused by mutation in the PIP5K1C gene (606102); LCCS4 (614915), caused
by mutation in the MYBPC1 gene (160794); and LCCS5 (615368), caused by mutation in
the DNM2 gene (602378).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the homolog of the Gle1, (S. cerevisiae) RNA export mediator
gene (GLE1, 603371.0001);
