1 It is reported that amyoplasia comprises 43% of reported cases. 2  No racial tendency is present. 3  Males are more affected in X-linked recessive disorders; otherwise, females and males are equally affected.  Arthrogryposis is detected at birth or in utero using ultrasound.
Amniocentesis (or another procedure, called chorionic villus sampling (CVS)) can diagnose these problems in the womb. Amniocentesis is performed when a woman is between 14 and 16 weeks gestation. Women who choose to have this test are primarily those at increased risk for genetic and chromosomal problems, in part because the test is invasive and carries a small risk of miscarriage.
