Diagnostic features include camptodactyly or pseudocamptodactyly, hypoplastic or absent flexion creases, overriding fingers, ulnar deviation at the wrist, talipes equinovarus, calcaneovalgus deformities, vertical talus, and/or metatarsus varus.

Sheldon-Hall syndrome (SHS) is a rare multiple congenital contracture syndrome characterized by contractures of the distal joints of the limbs, triangular face, downslanting palpebral fissures, small mouth, and high arched palate.	Associated morphology	True	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	1
An inherited developmental defect syndrome characterized by multiple congenital contractures of limbs, without primary neurologic and/or muscle disease that affects limb function, and ocular anomalies (ptosis, external ophthalmoplegia and/or strabismus). Intelligence is normal.	Associated morphology	True	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	1
Lethal congenital contracture syndrome type 1 is a rare, genetic arthrogryposis syndrome characterized by total fetal akinesia (detectable since the 13th week of gestation) accompanied by hydrops, micrognathia, pulmonary hypoplasia, pterygia and multiple joint contractures (usually flexion contractures in the elbows and extension in the knees), leading invariably to death before the 32nd week of gestation. Lack of anterior horn motoneurons, severe atrophy of the ventral spinal cord and severe skeletal muscle hypoplasia are characteristic neuropathological findings, with no evidence of other organ structural anomalies.	Associated morphology	True	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	1
Lethal congenital contracture syndrome type 2 is a rare arthrogryposis syndrome characterized by multiple congenital contractures (typically extended elbows and flexed knees), micrognathia, anterior horn cell degeneration, skeletal muscle atrophy (mainly in the lower limbs), presence of a markedly distended urinary bladder and absence of hydrops, pterygia and bone fractures. Other craniofacial (e.g. cleft palate, facial palsy) and ocular (e.g. anisocoria, retinal detachment) anomalies may be additionally observed. The disease is usually neonatally lethal however, survival into adolescence has been reported.	Associated morphology	False	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	1
Identified in Israeli Bedouin kindred the phenotype is similar to that of Lethal congenital contracture syndrome type 2 but without distended bladder. Affected individuals are born with severe multiple joint contractures with severe muscle wasting and atrophy, mainly in the legs.	Associated morphology	True	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	1

Distal arthrogryposis type 4 is an inherited developmental defect syndrome characterized by multiple congenital contractures of limbs, without primary neurologic and/or muscle disease that affects limb function, and a mild to severe scoliosis. Intelligence is normal.	Associated morphology	True	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	4

A rare ectodermal dysplasia syndrome characterized by severe arthrogryposis, multiple ectodermal dysplasia features, cleft lip/palate, facial dysmorphism, growth deficiency and a moderate delay of psychomotor development. Ectodermal dysplasia manifestations include sparse, brittle and hypopigmented hair, xerosis, multiple nevi, small conical shaped teeth and hypodontia, and facial dysmorphism with blepharophimosis, deep-set eyes and micrognathia.	Associated morphology	False	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	9
A form of arthrogryposis characterized by contractures of the distal regions of the hands and feet in the absence of a primary neurological and/or muscle disease affecting limb function. Facial involvement is limited to a small mouth and impaired mouth opening. No additional anomalies are reported.	Associated morphology	True	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	1
A form of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita characterized by congenital immobility of the limbs with fixation of multiple joints and muscle wasting. This condition is secondary to neurogenic muscular atrophy.	Associated morphology	True	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	2

A rare multiple congenital anomalies syndrome characterized by the association of camptodactyly, multiple eye defects (fibrosis of the medial rectus muscle, severe myopia, ptosis and exophthalmos), scoliosis, flexion contractures and facial anomalies (arched eyebrows, facial asymmetry with an abnormal skull shape, a prominent nose, small mouth, low-set and dysplastic ears, and a low nuchal hairline).	Associated morphology	False	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	5
A very rare genetic disorder characterized by the following congenital malformations: hydrocephalus (due to Dandy-Walker anomaly), cleft palate, and severe joint contractures.	Associated morphology	True	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	11
An extremely rare arthrogryposis syndrome, described in only two pairs of siblings from two unrelated families to date, and characterized by the association of arthrogryposis, congenital torticollis, dysmorphic facial features (i.e. asymmetry of the face, myopathic facial movements, ptosis, posteriorly rotated ears, cleft palate), progressive scoliosis and episodes of malignant hyperthermia. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1988.	Associated morphology	True	Contracture	Inferred relationship	Some	5
