Additional dysmorphic features include prominent forehead, small nose, micrognathia, as well as camptodactyly and symphalangism. Contractures of large joints and micropenis have also been reported. |

A rare systemic disease characterized by congenital muscle hypotonia and/or muscle atrophy that improves with age, proximal joint contractures (knee, hip, elbow), and hypermobility of distal joints. Additional features include soft, doughy skin, atrophic scarring, delayed motor development, and myopathic findings in muscle biopsy. Abnormal craniofacial features have been reported in some patients. Molecular testing is obligatory to confirm the diagnosis. |

A rare multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome with intellectual disability characterized by severe congenital contractures of the limbs and face, hypotonia, neonatal respiratory distress, and global developmental delay. Dysmorphic facial features include downslanting palpebral fissures, broad nasal bridge, large nares, long philtrum, and deep nasolabial folds, among others. Limb deformities (camptodactyly, clubfoot), short neck, scoliosis, as well as seizures have also been reported. Brain MRI may show cerebral and cerebellar atrophy in some cases. |

A lethal form of pontocerebellar hypoplasia with characteristics of prenatal onset of microcephaly, hypoplasia of the cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord, dysmorphic craniofacial features such as sloping forehead and micrognathia, and multiple contractures. Supratentorial atrophy has also been reported. |

A rare multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterised by severe brain malformations associated with cerebral parenchymal underdevelopment, arthrogryposis and club feet due to mutations in KIAA1109 gene. Majority of the cases are early lethal. Milder cases may present with severe global developmental delay, intellectual disability, microcephaly, hydrocephaly, heart defects, renal problems, severe muscle hypotonia causing incapacity to stand without a support, epilepsy, syndactyly and variable dysmorphic facial features (including hypotelorism, hypertelorism, small eyes, low-set and posteriorly rotated ears, short nose, flattened nasal bridge, anteverted nares, retrognathia). |
