Lethal congenital contracture syndrome, also called multiple contracture syndrome, Finnish type, is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder marked by total immobility of a fetus, detectable by around the thirteenth week of pregnancy. It invariably leads to prenatal death before the thirty-second gestational week. It is counted among the forty Finnish heritage diseases, was first described in 1985, and roughly seventy cases have been diagnosed since.
