Abstract excerpt
Arthrogryposis is a consequence of reduced fetal movements and arises due to environmental factors or underlying genetic defects, with extensive genetic heterogeneity. In many instances, the genes responsible are involved in neuromuscular function. Missense variants in the gene encoding embryonic myosin heavy chain (MYH3) usually cause distal arthrogryposis. Recently, mono-allelic or bi-allelic MYH3 variants have...
