Preferred Label : Joubert syndrome 6;
Symbol : JBTS6;
CISMeF acronym : JBTS6;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Joubert syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder presenting with psychomotor delay,
hypotonia, ataxia, oculomotor apraxia, and neonatal breathing abnormalities. Neuroradiologically,
Joubert syndrome is characterized by peculiar malformation of the midbrain-hindbrain
junction known as the 'molar tooth sign' (MTS) consisting of cerebellar vermis hypoplasia
or aplasia, thick and maloriented superior cerebellar peduncles, and abnormally deep
interpeduncular fossa (Romano et al., 2006). For a phenotypic description and a discussion
of genetic heterogeneity of Joubert syndrome, see 213300.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the transmembrane protein 67 gene (TMEM67, 609884.0006);
Prefixed ID : #610688;
Origin ID : 610688;
