This case study details a 41-year-old male patient with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) who presented with ocular hypertension. The intraocular pressure (IOP) in his right eye progressively increased over time, leading to visual field loss, culminating in a diagnosis of juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma (JOAG). Despite conventional medical therapies, adequate IOP control was not achieved, necessitating his referral to Nagoya City University Hospital.

Arthrogryposis, which represents a group of congenital disorders, includes various forms. One such form is amyoplasia, which most commonly presents in a sporadic form in addition to distal forms, among which hereditary cases may occur. This condition is characterized by limited joint mobility and muscle weakness, leading to limb deformities and various clinical manifestations.

Article Synopsis
  • Congenital titinopathies are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and primarily result from genetic variations in metatranscript (MTT)-only exons, leading to diverse clinical outcomes.
  • The study analyzed 20 patients with these variants, revealing severe congenital myopathy at birth along with a wide range of associated issues like muscular weakness and respiratory problems.
  • Findings underscore the importance of genotype-phenotype correlations, enhancing understanding of the genetic basis and molecular mechanisms behind these conditions.

Department of Neonatology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, Odisha 751019, India. Electronic address:

Background: Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita involves joint contractures across various body parts. Distal arthrogryposis type 5D (DA5D) is a rare, autosomal recessive subtype affecting distal extremities, with symptoms like knee extension contractures, camptodactyly, overriding fingers, ulnar wrist deviation, and scoliosis.

Case: A 24-year-old pregnant woman with a second-degree relative partner had a fetus showing increased nuchal translucency (3.
