Abstract

Amyoplasia is the most common form of arthrogryposis, a congenital condition characterized by multiple joint contractures. Current literature on amyoplasia suggests it is a sporadic condition without a genetic basis. We describe a patient with the musculoskeletal characteristics of amyoplasia and an underlying rare and possibly causal genetic variant.
