Definition:

Joubert syndrome (JBTS) and related disorders are a group of multiple congenital anomaly syndromes characterized by 'molar tooth sign', a specific midbrain-hindbrain malformation seen in brain images. JBTS is associated with retinal dystrophy, nephronophthisis, liver fibrosis and polydactyly. Most of the causative genes encode cilium-related proteins.
