Joubert syndrome

Joubert syndrome is a clinically and genetically quite heterogeneous disorder. Inheritance is mostly autosomal recessive. The typical clinical signs include neurological symptoms that result from hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis with the characteristic neuroradiologic 'molar tooth sign' and to a variable degree retinal dystrophy and renal cysts.
