Congenital arthrogryposis with anterior horn cell disease (CAAHD) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder with highly variable severity. Affected individuals are usually noted to have contractures in utero on prenatal ultrasound studies, and present at birth with generalized contractures manifest as arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC). Patients have severe hypotonia with respiratory insufficiency, often resulting in death in infancy or early childhood. Some patients may survive into later childhood with supportive care, but may be unable to walk or sit independently due to a combination of muscle weakness and contractures. Cognition may be normal. The disorder also includes multiple congenital anomalies associated with AMC and hypotonia, including high-arched palate, myopathic facies, and bulbar weakness. Neuropathologic studies demonstrate severe loss of anterior horn cells in the spinal cord, as well as diffuse motor neuron axonopathy (summary by Smith et al., 2017 and Tan et al., 2017).

MalaCards based summary : Congenital Arthrogryposis with Anterior Horn Cell Disease, also known as lethal arthrogryposis with anterior horn cell disease, is related to fetal akinesia deformation sequence 1 and anterior horn cell disease. An important gene associated with Congenital Arthrogryposis with Anterior Horn Cell Disease is GLE1 (GLE1 RNA Export Mediator). Affiliated tissues include spinal cord, skeletal muscle and tongue, and related phenotypes are microcephaly and dystonia KEGG : 36 Congenital arthrogryposis with anterior horn cell disease (CAAHD), formerly known as lethal arthrogryposis with anterior horn cell disease (LAAHD), is a condition with fetal akinesia deformation sequence (FADS), multiple contractures and facial anomalies. Motor neuron loss is also present in patients with CAAHD. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 73 Congenital arthrogryposis with anterior horn cell disease: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by fetal akinesia, arthrogryposis and motor neuron loss. The fetus often survives delivery, but dies early as a result of respiratory failure. Neuropathological findings resemble those of lethal congenital contracture syndrome type 1, but are less severe. |
