German syndrome

Summary
German syndrome is a very rare association hypotonia-hypokinesia sequence, involving arthrogryposis and lymphedema. Only five cases have been described so far. Three of the four known families with affected children were Ashkenazi Jews. One boy died at age 2 years of cor pulmonale; a girl was stillborn. An autosomal recessive inheritance is likely. *Author: Orphanet (November 2005)*.
