Trait
Forearm supination contracture
A contracture that limits the ability of the forearm to stabilize the hand in pronation (pronation refers to a rotation of the forearm that causes the palm and forearm to face downwards), meaning that the palm is fixed in a upward orientation. Restriction of supination/pronation can occur at the elbow (radial-humeral joint), at the wrist (radial-ulnar joint), and anywhere in between.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Forearm supination contracture is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| FHL1four and a half LIM domains 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
