disc prolapse

Joubert syndrome was first described in 1968. It is caused by mutations in multiple genes and is characterized by characteristic brainstem abnormalities. Symptoms include breathing problems, developmental delays and eye movement problems. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and supporting development.
