Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
Autosomal recessive inheritance (Orphanet)
 
Gene (location): PIP5K1C (19p13.3)

Definition

Lethal congenital contracture syndrome-3 (LCCS3) is a severe autosomal recessive form of arthrogryposis characterized by multiple joint contractures with muscle wasting and atrophy (Narkis et al., 2007). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of LCCS, see LCCS1 (253310). [from OMIM]
