  1. RAVENSCROFT G*, JS Clayton, F Faiz, P Sivadorai, D Milnes, R Cincotta, P Moon, P McGrath, B Kamien, M Edwards, M Delatycki, PJ Lamont, S Chan, A Colley, A Ma, G McGillivray, S Ghedia, K Chao, A O’Donnell-Luria, NG Laing, MR Davis. (2020). Neurogenetic fetal akinesia and arthrogryposis: genetics, expanding genotype-phenotypes and functional genomics. J Med Genet
    This paper describes the combined diagnostic and research findings from 81 cases with a genetic diagnosis from a cohort of 190. This includes a number of phenotype expansions for known genes and details 50 novel variants not previously associated with disease. All variants have been entered into the Leiden Open Variant Database (LOVD) such that these findings can be of clinical utility for families across the globe.
