Summary Summary


Listen
The following summary is from Orphanet, a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs.
orphanet

Orpha Number: 2318

Disease definition
Joubert syndrome with oculorenal defect is a rare subtype of Joubert syndrome and related disorders (JSRD, see this term) characterized by the neurological features of JS associated with both renal and ocular disease.

Epidemiology
Prevalence is unknown.

Clinical description
Patients present retinal involvement (manifesting with either Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA, see this term), or progressive retinal dystrophy) and nephronophthisis (NPH, usually juvenile). Retinal involvement is present at birth (LCA) or may manifest later in life. Juvenile NPH usually becomes clinically symptomatic towards the late first decade or the early second decade of life.

Etiology
About 50% of patients carry mutations in the CEP290 gene (12q21.33), transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner.

This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.

If you need medical advice, you can look for doctors or other healthcare professionals who have experience with this disease. You may find these specialists through advocacy organizations, clinical trials, or articles published in medical journals. You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments.

If you can’t find a specialist in your local area, try contacting national or international specialists. They may be able to refer you to someone they know through conferences or research efforts. Some specialists may be willing to consult with you or your local doctors over the phone or by email if you can't travel to them for care.

You can find more tips in our guide, How to Find a Disease Specialist. We also encourage you to explore the rest of this page to find resources that can help you find specialists.

Healthcare Resources

  • To find a medical professional who specializes in genetics, you can ask your doctor for a referral or you can search for one yourself. Online directories are provided by the American College of Medical Genetics and the National Society of Genetic Counselors. If you need additional help, contact a GARD Information Specialist. You can also learn more about genetic consultations from Genetics Home Reference.
