What is gordon sendromu?

Gordon Syndrome, also known as Distal Arthrogryposis Type 3 (DA3), is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of muscles and joints. The syndrome is characterized by multiple joint contractures, which restrict movement in the affected areas. This affects the joints in the fingers, wrists, ankles, and feet. Gordon Syndrome is caused by mutations in the MYH3 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.

Other symptoms of Gordon Syndrome may include clubfoot, scoliosis, shortened limbs and fingers, and weakness in certain muscles. People with this syndrome may also have difficulty with activities such as walking and gripping objects.

There is no cure for Gordon Syndrome, but treatment options may include physical therapy, orthopedic devices such as braces or splints, and surgery in severe cases. People with Gordon Syndrome can lead a normal life with proper management and support.
