To date, advances in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) have enabled the identification of more than 400 genes implicated in AMC. Genetic causes of AMC and CNS involvement are especially challenging due to their heterogeneous clinical presentation, overlapping phenotypes, and often uncertain etiology. Pathogenic variants in AFF3 degron motif were identified as a cause of KINSSHIP syndrome (MIM #619297) which is clinically characterized by horseshoe kidney, Nievergelt\/Svarirayan type of mesomelic dysplasia, seizures, generalized hypertrichosis, intellectual disability, and pulmonary involvement. We describe a patient presenting distal contractures at birth and neurodevelopmental delay, in whom Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) revealed a previously reported missense variant in\n                    <jats:italic>AFF3.<\/jats:italic>\n                    We also conducted a literature review of published cases associated with this gene.
