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. The patient underwent minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), specifically trabeculotomy using the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB). Postoperative outcomes were favorable, with the IOP decreasing from approximately 40 to 10 mmHg and remaining consistently below 15 mmHg over a 27-month follow-up period. This case represents the first documented instance of glaucoma in a patient with FSS successfully managed with MIGS, highlighting the long-term efficacy and safety of this surgical intervention.

Freeman-Burian syndrome is a rare craniofacial syndrome surrounded by fake news. This situation shows the strong connection between the quality of a literature search and clinical reasoning displayed in patient care, especially in care of patients with rare conditions.

Myosin motors are critical for diverse motility functions, ranging from cytokinesis and endocytosis to muscle contraction. The UNC-45 chaperone controls myosin function mediating the folding, assembly, and degradation of the muscle protein. Here, we analyze the molecular mechanism of UNC-45 as a hub in myosin quality control.

Arthrogryposis is a clinical feature defined by congenital joint contractures in two or more different body areas which occurs in between 1/3000 and 1/5000 live births. Variants in multiple genes have been associated with distal arthrogryposis syndromes. Heterozygous variants in MYH3 have been identified to cause the dominantly-inherited distal arthrogryposis conditions, Freeman-Sheldon syndrome, Sheldon-Hall syndrome, and multiple pterygium syndrome.

Objectives: To describe a case of prenatal diagnosis of Freeman-Sheldon syndrome based on ultrasound findings and complete fetal exome sequencing.
Materials And Methods: A 33-year-old patient currently on treatment for hypothyroidism in whom a 19-week detailed anatomical ultrasound scan showed fetal deformities in more than two body areas (upper and lower limbs), suggesting a diagnosis of arthrogryposis. Genetic counseling was provided and amniocentesis was performed at 20 weeks for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis and complete fetal exome sequencing, with the latter allowing the identification of a heterozygous pathogenic variant of the MYH3 gene which is associated with type 2A distal arthrogryposis.
