Oculomelic amyoplasia is an ultra-rare, inherited condition where a baby is born with tight joints in the arms and legs (called arthrogryposis) plus eye-movement problems such as droopy eyelids (ptosis), limited eye movements (ophthalmoplegia), or crossed eyes (strabismus). Doctors now group it under Distal Arthrogryposis type 5 (DA5). Many cases are linked to changes (mutations) in a gene called PIEZO2, which controls how cells sense mechanical force. When this gene is over-active (gain-of-function), it can lead to joint contractures and eye movement limits; some people may also have shallow breathing or restrictive lungs because of stiff chest muscles. Intelligence is usually normal. Diagnosis is clinical and confirmed with genetic testing. Care focuses on early physical/occupational therapy, bracing, orthopedic procedures for joints/feet/hips, and pediatric ophthalmology for vision protection and alignment. EyeWiki+4MalaCards+4PubMed+4 PIEZO2 is a mechanosensitive ion channel—a tiny gate in nerve endings and muscle receptors that opens when tissues are stretched or pressed. Changes in PIEZO2 can distort proprioception (the body’s sense of position) and alter muscle tone and joint development in the womb, leading to contractures before birth. Dominant gain-of-function variants have been tied to DA5; recessive loss-of-function variants produce a different syndrome with impaired touch/proprioception. This gene-level mechanism explains why joints are tight and why some patients have breathing restriction or distinctive facial/ocular features. Frontiers+3PNAS+3PNAS+3
Oculomelic amyoplasia is a rare genetic condition in which a baby is born with tight joints (called arthrogryposis) that mostly affect the hands and feet (distal joints) and also has eye-movement problems. “Oculo-” refers to the eyes, “-melic” refers to the limbs, and “amyoplasia” means the muscles in the affected areas are under-developed or weak. Children typically have stiff fingers, wrists, ankles, or feet at birth, and they may have droopy eyelids (ptosis) or limited eye movements (ophthalmoplegia). Intelligence is usually normal. Many cases are linked to changes in a gene called PIEZO2, which helps muscle and nerve endings sense stretch and movement; when this gene is overactive, joints can form stiff and eye muscles may not move normally before birth.

Another names
Doctors and researchers may use several names for the same condition. You might see:
Distal arthrogryposis type 5 (DA5) – the most common, gene-based name.
Arthrogryposis with oculomotor limitation and electroretinal anomalies – highlights eye movement limits and possible retinal test changes.
Oculomelic amyoplasia – emphasizes combined limb (melic) and eye (oculo) features with amyoplasia.
Distal arthrogryposis type IIB (historical overlap in some catalogs).
All of these labels point to a syndrome with distal joint contractures plus eye findings; many DA5 cases are due to PIEZO2 variants. MeSH Browser+1
Types
It helps to separate two closely related patterns that look similar but differ in genetics and sometimes eye findings:
DA5 (autosomal dominant, often PIEZO2-related)
Distal joint contractures with typical eye features (ptosis, limited eye movements, sometimes strabismus). Some people also develop short stature, a “woody” feel to muscles, and in a few cases restrictive lung disease later in life. BioMed Central+1DA5D (autosomal recessive, ECEL1-related)
Also shows distal contractures and sometimes asymmetric ptosis, but true ophthalmoplegia may be absent or variable. DA5D is caused by changes in ECEL1 and follows a different inheritance pattern. PMC+1
Why this matters: counseling about recurrence risks in a family and the exact genetic test panel can differ between DA5 and DA5D. PreventionGenetics
Causes
Think of causes on two levels: (A) specific genetic causes that define the syndrome and (B) general factors that, in any baby, can reduce movement in the womb and lead to contractures. For oculomelic amyoplasia/DA5, genetics is the key driver, while the “general” causes explain why arthrogryposis happens across many conditions.
Gene-specific (core) causes
PIEZO2 gain-of-function variants (DA5) – make stretch-sensing channels overactive; fetal movements reduce; joints stiffen; eye muscles may not move normally. BioMed Central
Other PIEZO2-related disorders overlapping with DA5 (e.g., Gordon syndrome, Marden-Walker) – different variants in the same pathway can produce overlapping features including ptosis and contractures. ResearchGate
ECEL1 loss-of-function variants (DA5D) – affect neuromuscular development, especially in distal limbs; ptosis may appear, ophthalmoplegia may be limited or absent. PMC
General arthrogryposis mechanisms (broader background, not the primary cause in DA5 but helpful to understand)
Reduced fetal movement (fetal akinesia) from any cause – if a baby moves less in the womb, joints can stiffen before birth. PMC
Connective-tissue or muscle development problems – hypoplastic muscles cannot move joints well, leading to contractures. PMC
Peripheral nerve development issues – if nerves don’t signal muscles well, movement is reduced, and joints stiffen. PMC
Neuromuscular-junction dysfunction – impaired communication between nerve and muscle decreases motion. PMC
Oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid) – less “room” to move can worsen contractures. Wikipedia
Uterine constraint (crowding, structural issues) – similar effect: less movement → more stiffness. Wikipedia
Maternal myasthenia gravis (rare) – antibodies may affect the fetus and limit movement. Wikipedia
Maternal fever/infection (e.g., Zika) – can reduce fetal movement and lead to arthrogryposis in general. Wikipedia
Vascular (blood-supply) problems to fetal muscles – can cause muscle under-development and contractures. Wikipedia
Early joint or tendon malformations – abnormal joint structures limit motion and stiffen over time. PMC
Cranial dysinnervation disorders (eye-muscle wiring differences) – help explain ptosis/ophthalmoplegia elements. Hereditary Ocular Diseases Database
Genetic heterogeneity in distal arthrogryposis (other genes like MYH3, TPM2, TNNI2, TNNT3 etc. in the wider DA spectrum) – shows why panels test multiple genes when DA is suspected. Frontiers
Postural “fixed positions” in utero – persistent positions can shape the limbs into contractures. Cleveland Clinic
Tendon imbalance around a joint – stronger tendons on one side pull a joint into a fixed position. PMC
Muscle fibrosis replacing muscle fibers – limits elasticity and range. PMC
Secondary respiratory restriction (in some DA5) – chest wall stiffness can reduce lung expansion; this does not cause DA5 but can co-occur and worsen outcomes. BioMed Central
Unknown/undetected variant – a small number of families have DA5-like features but testing evolves; re-analysis may identify a cause later. (General point derived from DA genetic heterogeneity.) PMC
Symptoms
Stiff fingers and wrists at birth – difficulty opening hands or bending wrists is typical of distal involvement. BioMed Central
Stiff ankles/clubfoot – feet may point downward/inward and be hard to correct without therapy or casting. Breda Genetics srl
Ptosis (droopy eyelids) – eyelids sit low and may partly cover the pupil. MalaCards
Ophthalmoplegia – limited eye movements; a child may turn their head rather than move eyes. MalaCards
Strabismus – eyes not perfectly aligned; may drift inward or outward. MalaCards
“Woody” or firm feel of limb muscles – a textural sign doctors often mention in DA5. BioMed Central
Short stature (some cases) – growth may be below average. BioMed Central
Restrictive lung disease (some) – shallow breathing or shortness of breath with activity in later childhood/adulthood. BioMed Central
High-arched palate or small mouth – can affect feeding or speech in early years. Hereditary Ocular Diseases Database
Limited forearm rotation – turning the palm up or down can be hard. Hereditary Ocular Diseases Database
Camptodactyly/clinodactyly – bent or curved fingers that don’t fully straighten. Hereditary Ocular Diseases Database
Spine stiffness or scoliosis (some) – reduced flexibility or curvature over time. Hereditary Ocular Diseases Database
Hearing loss (some) – reported in a minority of patients. Hereditary Ocular Diseases Database
Reduced deep-tendon reflexes – knee or ankle jerks may be reduced on exam. Hereditary Ocular Diseases Database
Normal intelligence – learning ability is usually typical; challenges relate more to movement or vision. Genetic Rare Disease Center
Diagnostic tests
Doctors confirm the diagnosis by recognizing the pattern and backing it up with tests. Here’s what each test does and why it helps.
Physical examination (at the bedside)
Comprehensive newborn/child musculoskeletal exam
The clinician gently checks each joint (hands, wrists, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, feet) to see which are stiff, in which direction, and how severe. This maps the “distal” pattern typical for DA5/oculomelic amyoplasia and helps plan early therapy. PMCNeurologic exam
Strength, muscle bulk, tone, reflexes, coordination, and sensation are assessed. In DA5, findings support a non-progressive, non-primary muscle disease picture with distal contractures, often with reduced reflexes but otherwise intact cognition. Genetic Rare Disease CenterOphthalmologic exam at the slit lamp
An eye doctor looks for ptosis, alignment (strabismus), and how well the eyes move in all directions. These ocular signs are key to recognizing the “oculo” part of the syndrome. MalaCardsRespiratory and chest-wall assessment
Listening to the lungs, checking chest expansion, and screening for restrictive breathing are important because some DA5 patients later develop restrictive lung disease. BioMed CentralGrowth and craniofacial measurements
Height/weight/head size and facial features (small mouth, high palate) are documented to track growth and support the syndrome pattern. Hereditary Ocular Diseases Database
Manual tests (functional measures done in clinic or therapy)
Goniometry (range-of-motion measurement)
A protractor-like device measures angles at each joint to document limitations and track progress with stretching, splints, or surgery. This is standard care in arthrogryposis. PMCManual Muscle Testing (MMT)
Therapists grade strength in key muscle groups. In DA5, distal weakness or under-use may be seen; measurements guide therapy goals. PMCFunctional mobility assessment
Therapists watch how a child rolls, sits, stands, walks, uses hands, and performs daily tasks. This helps select braces, splints, or adaptive devices. PMCOrthotic/splint fitting trials
Serial casting or splint trials are practical “tests” to see how much motion can be safely gained and maintained. WikipediaVision function tests (alignment and motility charts)
Simple cover tests and motility charts record how eyes align and move, guiding decisions about prisms, therapy, or strabismus surgery timing. MalaCards
Laboratory and pathological tests
Creatine kinase (CK) blood test
CK is often normal in distal arthrogryposis/amyoplasia because there is usually no active muscle breakdown; this helps rule out primary muscular dystrophies. (General AMC work-up principle.) PMCTargeted genetic test for PIEZO2 (DA5) and panel for DA genes
Modern panels test PIEZO2 first when DA5 is suspected and also include other DA genes because multiple genes can cause overlapping patterns. A positive result confirms the diagnosis and helps with family counseling. MalaCards+1ECEL1 gene testing (when DA5D is suspected)
If features or family history suggest recessive inheritance, testing ECEL1 can identify DA5D and explain differences in eye findings and recurrence risk. PMCBroader exome/genome sequencing
If targeted tests are negative, broader sequencing can detect rare or novel variants in the wider distal arthrogryposis spectrum. FrontiersElectroretinography (ERG) when retinal anomalies are suspected
Some reports describe electroretinal changes in the DA5 spectrum; ERG tests how retinal cells respond to light, helping explain vision symptoms. Genetic Rare Disease Center
Electrodiagnostic tests
Nerve conduction studies (NCS)
Measure how fast and strong electrical signals travel in peripheral nerves. In distal arthrogryposis/amyoplasia, studies can be normal or show mild changes, helping exclude other neuromuscular diseases. PMCElectromyography (EMG)
Looks at muscle electrical activity. EMG helps rule out primary myopathies or neuropathies; in DA5 the pattern often supports a non-progressive congenital contracture condition. PMC
Imaging tests
Fetal ultrasound (during pregnancy)
May show reduced fetal movements or fixed limb positions before birth, hinting at arthrogryposis. Early identification supports delivery planning and postnatal therapy. WikipediaPostnatal skeletal survey (X-rays of limbs/spine)
Documents joint positions, clubfoot, and alignment; helps surgeons plan if casting or tendon procedures are needed later. PMCMRI (selected cases: brain, orbits, or limbs)
MRI can assess eye muscles and cranial nerves in complex ophthalmoplegia, or evaluate muscle bulk/fibrosis and joint structures to guide care. (Used case-by-case in DA and cranial dysinnervation disorders.) Hereditary Ocular Diseases Database

FAQs
Is oculomelic amyoplasia the same as DA5? Yes—most experts treat them as the same clinical entity (distal arthrogryposis with ocular signs), often PIEZO2-related. MalaCards
Does it affect intelligence? Usually no; cognition is typically normal. MalaCards
How common is it? Very rare; amyoplasia and distal arthrogryposis together are uncommon overall, with DA5 a small subset. Nationwide Children’s Hospital
What gene is involved? Most DA5 families carry PIEZO2 variants (often gain-of-function). PNAS
How is it found? Based on exam (limb contractures + eye signs) and confirmed by genetic testing. NCBI
What is the long-term outlook? With early therapy, bracing, and selective surgeries, many children achieve good function; recurrence of contractures can happen and needs ongoing care. PMC
Can exercises cure it? Exercises don’t change the gene, but they significantly improve daily function and maintain surgical gains. Medscape
Are there medicines that fix the gene? No disease-modifying drugs exist yet. Supportive meds manage pain, vision risk, and post-op recovery. Cell
Is surgery always needed? Not always. Many children start with casting, bracing, and therapy; surgery is added when function or vision needs it. JPOSNA+1
Can vision be saved if eyelids are very droopy? Yes—timely ptosis/strabismus management plus amblyopia therapy can protect vision. Annals of Eye Science+1
Is breathing always affected? No, only a subset have restrictive lungs; monitor if there are symptoms. MalaCards
