Biallelic pathogenic variants in PIP5K1C (MIM #606,102) lead to lethal congenital contractural syndrome 3 (LCCS3, MIM #611,369), a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by small gestational age, severe multiple joint contractures and muscle atrophy, early death due to respiratory failure. Here, PIP5K1C is linked to Lethal congenital contracture syndrome type 3.
