Distal arthrogryposis type 3 – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1444357813

Distal arthrogryposis type 3 (aka Gordon Syndrome) is an extremely rare genetic disorder that is characterised by the combination of camptodactyly (a permanent fixation of several fingers in a flexed position), clubfoot or talipes (abnormal bending inward of the foot), and, in 25 % of patients, cleft palate. Intelligence is normal but in some cases, additional abnormalities (for example, scoliosis and cryptorchidism) may also be present.
