Phenotypes associated with the disease Joubert syndrome 40 (OMIM:619582):
- Postaxial polydactyly (HP:0100259): A form of polydactyly in which the extra digit or digits are localized on the side of the fifth finger or fifth toe. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 5/5. (PMID:33531668;PMID:34539760)
- Optic nerve hypoplasia (HP:0000609): Underdevelopment of the optic nerve. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/4. (PMID:33531668)
- Congenital onset (HP:0003577): A phenotypic abnormality that is present at birth. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:34539760)
- 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: 5/5. (PMID:33531668;PMID:34539760)
- 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: 5/5. (PMID:33531668;PMID:34539760)
- 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: 3/4. (PMID:33531668)
- 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:33531668)
- 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: 5/5. (PMID:33531668;PMID:34539760)
- Motor delay (HP:0001270): A type of Developmental delay characterized by a delay in acquiring motor skills. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:34539760)
- Almond-shaped palpebral fissure (HP:0007874): A shape created by an acute downward arching of the upper eyelid and upward arching of the lower eyelid, toward the medial canthus, which gives the outline of the palpebral fissures the configuration of an almond. Thus, the maximum distance between the fissures is offset from, and medial to, the center point. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:34539760)
- Depressed nasal bridge (HP:0005280): Posterior positioning of the nasal root in relation to the overall facial profile for age. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/1. (PMID:34539760)
- Intellectual disability (HP:0001249): The term intellectual disability or intellectual developmental disorder is used to describe significantly sub-average intellectual and adaptive functioning based on clinical assessment and as measured by individually administered, appropriately normed, standardized and validated tests of intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, with onset during the developmental period from infancy through adolescence. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 4/4. (PMID:33531668)
