The multiple pterygium syndromes (MPS) are a spectrum of phenotypically heterogenous disorders that can be divided into prenatally lethal (LMPS) and nonlethal Escobar (EVMPS) types. The clinical features of MPS are congenital joint contractures (arthrogryposis) and multiple skin webbing (pterygia). Patients may have other developmental defects such as micrognathia, ptosis, and cleft palate. The genes that encode subunits of the embryonal acetylcholine receptor are linked to this disease.
