last update : 26-01-2009
Symbol MPTLT2
Location 11p11.2
Name multiple pterygium syndrome, lethal type 2
Corresponding gene RAPSN
Main clinical features
  • intrauterine growth retardation, multiple pterygia and flexion contractures causing severe arthrogryposis, and fetal akinesia
  • in severe cases, subcutaneous edema may be severe, causing fetal hydrops with cystic hygroma and lung hypoplasia, cleft palate, cryptorchidism, intestinal malrotation, cardiac hypoplasia, diaphragmatic hernia, obstructive uropathy, microcephaly, or cerebellar and pontine hypoplasia can also be present.
  • Genetic determination autosomal recessive
    Function/system disorder
    Type disease
    Remark(s)
    Genotype/Phenotype correlations incomplete loss of rapsyn function may cause congenital myasthenia, more severe loss of function can result in a lethal fetal akinesia phenotype
