Abstract excerpt
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a heterogeneous symptom complex characterized by non-progressive joint contractures from birth that involve more than one part of the body. In 1997, our group investigated a large Israeli Arab inbred kindred that showed autosomal recessive inheritance of AMC neuropathic type, and we mapped the gene to 5qter between markers D5S1456 and D5S498. Haplotype sharing studies...
