   Extractions: Joubert syndrome is a rare brain malformation characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the cerebellar vermis - an area of the brain that controls balance and coordination. The most common features of Joubert syndrome in infants include abnormally rapid breathing ( hyperpnea ), jerky eye movements, mental retardation, and the inability to coordinate voluntary muscle movements (

Leber amaurosis (blindness with normal optic fundi and brain and kidney abnormalities) may be associated.

   Extractions: What is Joubert Syndrome? Joubert Syndrome is a rare, genetic disorder that affects the area of the brain that controls balance and coordination. The disorder is characterized by agenesis (absence) or hypoplasia (underdeveloped) of the part of the brain called the cerebellar vermis and a malformed brain stem. The most common features of the disorder include ataxia (lack of muscle control), an abnormal breathing pattern called hypernea, sleep apnea, abnormal eye and tongue movements, and hypotonia. Other malformations such as extra fingers and toes, cleft lip or palate, tongue abnormalities, and seizures may also occur.

   Extractions: The story of the Joubert Syndrome Foundation continues to evolve as more people donate their time, money and energies to spreading the word about Joubert Syndrome. One of our main goals is to educate the medical community about Joubert Syndrome so families can continue to be hopeful about the future for their children. In January 1992, three mothers decided to tackle the impossible. With very little medical information available at the time and with only eight known families in the United States whose children shared the diagnosis of Joubert Syndrome, these mothers set out to motivate the medical community to find answers. They began by locating more families and the Joubert Syndrome Parents-In-Touch Network was born. Through fundraising and your donations, the medical community has a better understanding of the potential future for a person with Joubert Syndrome... and it is hopeful. Progress has been made, but we still have a long way to go. In the past, parents of children with Joubert Syndrome had been given a bleak prognosis. Many families were told that Joubert Syndrome was a terminal condition and that their child had an abnormality of the brain that was incompatible with life. Many believed that survival meant severe handicaps. Imagine the devastation they felt.
