Joubert syndrome is a rare brain malformation characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the cerebellar vermis - an area of the brain that controls balance and coordination. The most common features of Joubert syndrome in infants include abnormally rapid breathing ( hyperpnea ), jerky eye movements, mental retardation, and the inability to coordinate voluntary muscle movements (

Future Research Directions in Joubert Syndrome
June 27 - 28, 2002 New Orleans, Louisiana
I. Overview and Introduction
This conference was funded by the National Institute of Neurologic Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the Office of Rare Disorders, and the Joubert Syndrome Foundation. It took place on June 27-28, 2000 in New Orleans, and was a follow-up to a 1998 symposium on this disorder. Bernard L. Maria, M.D., M.B.A., chairperson, and Robert Finkelstein, Ph.D., Program Director, Neurogenetics Cluster, NINDS, outlined three goals for the conference. The first goal was to provide an overview of current knowledge during three sessions: clinical approaches to diagnosis and management, genetics of brain development and behavior, and Autism and Joubert syndrome. The second goal was to introduce established researchers from backgrounds in genetics, brain development, and behavior to the disorder. Finally, family representatives and research panelists were to engage in discussion culminating in the definition of future research goals.

The cerebellum is at the rear of the brainstem. It influences the functions of coordinating voluntary movement, such as balance, coordination, or walking.
Just a LiL Problem ~~~>
Much about the syndrome is not know. Yet, it is extrememly rare and estimated that only 10 people a year are born with it. More investigating is being done to understand more about Joubert.
Characteristics ~~~>
- Abnormal Breathing
- Bad Balance Keeping
- Abnormal Tongue and Eye Movements
- Decreasing Muscle Tone - Seziures (less common) - Mild/Moderate Retardation - Sleep Apnea - Extra Fingers or Toes - Cleft Lip or Palate Treatment The most important part of treatment is support.

What is Joubert Syndrome?
Joubert Syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder in which there are congenital problems which fit into a recognizable pattern of features.
What are the characteristics of Joubert Syndrome?
The most typical features of Joubert Syndrome include:
  • Absence or underdevelopment of part of the brain called the cerebellum vermis which controls balance and coordination. A malformed brain stem, which may cause an abnormal breathing pattern called episodic hypernea, in which babies pant, and may be followed by apnea (cessation of breathing). Abnormal eye and tongue movements. Decreased muscle tone. It can be marked in the neonatal period and in infancy. Seizures (less typical).
How is Joubert Syndrome diagnosed with an MRI? Please see the "Molar Tooth" MRI scan on the Diagnostic section. How is Joubert Syndrome inherited? Joubert Syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Both parents are carriers of the gene. Genetic testing is not currently available to detect this condition. Parents who have a child with Joubert Syndrome have a 1 in 4 chance of having another affected child in another pregnancy. Prenatal testing with a level 3 ultrasound may be possible. What is the prognosis for Joubert Syndrome?
