Carpal tunnel syndrome 2

Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome-2 (CTS2) is characterized by the relatively early onset of symptoms of median nerve compression in the wrist. Patients experience pain and numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers, correlating with the median nerve distribution in the hand. In addition to thickening of the tendons and ligaments of the wrist, thickening of other tendons has been observed (Li et al., 2020). For a general phenotypic description and discussion of genetic heterogeneity of carpal tunnel syndrome, see CTS1 (115430). [from OMIM]
