What is congenital contractural arachnodactyly (CCA)?
CCA is an AD disease due to mutations of the fibrillin-2 gene on chromosome 5. Patients have a marfanoid habitus but unlike MFS have stiff joints, multiple contractures of large joints, “crumpled” ears, severe thoracic deformities, and no cardiac or eye abnormalities.
