Joubert Syndrome 21; Jbts21

Description

Joubert syndrome is an autosomal recessive congenital condition characterized by a unique brainstem and cerebellar malformation comprising cerebellar vermis hypoplasia and/or dysplasia, elongated superior cerebellar peduncles, and deepened interpeduncular fossa, which together are recognized as the 'molar tooth sign' on brain MRI. The most common clinical features include delayed psychomotor development, hypotonia, abnormal respiratory patterns in the neonatal period, oculomotor apraxia, and cerebellar ataxia. Additional features may include retinal degeneration, cystic kidney, liver fibrosis, and polydactyly. It is caused by ciliary defects and is part of a spectrum of disorders known as 'ciliopathies' (summary by Akizu et al., 2014).For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Joubert syndrome, see {213300}.
