Phenotypes associated with the disease Joubert syndrome 38 (OMIM:619476):
- Cerebellar vermis hypoplasia (HP:0001320): Underdevelopment of the vermis of cerebellum. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Epicanthus (HP:0000286): A fold of skin starting above the medial aspect of the upper eyelid and arching downward to cover, pass in front of and lateral to the medial canthus. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Strabismus (HP:0000486): A misalignment of the eyes so that the visual axes deviate from bifoveal fixation. The classification of strabismus may be based on a number of features including the relative position of the eyes, whether the deviation is latent or manifest, intermittent or constant, concomitant or otherwise and according to the age of onset and the relevance of any associated refractive error. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Short stature (HP:0004322): A height below that which is expected according to age and gender norms. Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Hypermetropia (HP:0000540): An abnormality of refraction characterized by the ability to see objects in the distance clearly, while objects nearby appear blurry. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Decreased circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 concentration (HP:0030353): The concentration of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) in the blood circulation is below the lower limit of normal. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Global developmental delay (HP:0001263): A delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child, including motor skills, speech and language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional skills. This term should only be used to describe children younger than five years of age. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Hypotonia (HP:0001252): Hypotonia is an abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle). Even when relaxed, muscles have a continuous and passive partial contraction which provides some resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia thus manifests as diminished resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Ectopic posterior pituitary (HP:0011755): An abnormal anatomical location of the posterior lobe of the hypophysis, also known as the neurohypophysis. The posterior pituitary is normally present in the dorsal portion of the sella turcica, but when ectopic is usually near the median eminence. This defect is likely to be due to abnormal migration during embryogenesis. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Small pituitary gland (HP:0012506): An abnormally decreased size of the pituitary gland. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Prominent forehead (HP:0011220): Forward prominence of the entire forehead, due to protrusion of the frontal bone. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Inferior cerebellar vermis hypoplasia (HP:0007068): Underdevelopment of the inferior portion of the vermis of cerebellum. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Oculomotor apraxia (HP:0000657): Ocular motor apraxia is a deficiency in voluntary, horizontal, lateral, fast eye movements (saccades) with retention of slow pursuit movements. The inability to follow objects visually is often compensated by head movements. There may be decreased smooth pursuit, and cancelation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Autosomal recessive inheritance (HP:0000007): A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele). Evidence: PCS. (PMID:28220259)
- Molar tooth sign on MRI (HP:0002419): An abnormal appearance of the midbrain in axial magnetic resonance imaging in which the elongated superior cerebellar peduncles give the midbrain an appearance reminiscent of a molar or wisdom tooth. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Decreased response to growth hormone stimulation test (HP:0000824): Insufficient responses to growth hormone (GH) provocation tests. GH deficiency is defined as a serum peak GH concentration less than 10 ng/mL on provocation with a combination of at least two separate stimulation tests. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Downturned corners of mouth (HP:0002714): A morphological abnormality of the mouth in which the angle of the mouth is downturned. The oral commissures are positioned inferior to the midline labial fissure. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Esotropia (HP:0000565): A form of strabismus with one or both eyes turned inward ('crossed') to a relatively severe degree, usually defined as 10 diopters or more. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Frontal bossing (HP:0002007): Bilateral bulging of the lateral frontal bone prominences with relative sparing of the midline. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Posteriorly rotated ears (HP:0000358): A type of abnormal location of the ears in which the position of the ears is characterized by posterior rotation (the superior part of the ears is rotated towards the back of the head, and the inferior part of the ears towards the front). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/2. (PMID:28220259)
- Low-set ears (HP:0000369): Upper insertion of the ear to the scalp below an imaginary horizontal line drawn between the inner canthi of the eye and extending posteriorly to the ear. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/2. (PMID:28220259)
