Congenital myopathy-16 (CMYO16) is an autosomal dominant muscle disorder characterized by onset of hypotonia and tremor in infancy. Patients have mildly delayed walking, unsteady gait, proximal muscle weakness, and a high-frequency tremor of the limbs. Some may develop secondary mild contractures or spinal deformities. Cognition is normal and the disease course tends to stabilize after adolescence (summary by Stavusis et al., 2019). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of congenital myopathy, see CMYO1A (117000). [from OMIM]

Lethal congenital contracture syndrome-4 (LCCS4) is a severe form of neuromuscular arthrogryposis characterized by contractures leading to various degrees of flexion or extension limitations evident at birth (Markus et al., 2012). For a general phenotypic description and discussion of genetic heterogeneity of LCCS, see LCCS1 (253310). [from OMIM]
