Condition

Joubert Syndrome

Assembled from catalogue records November 2, 2026

Joubert Syndrome, as genome-wide studies have reported it: 388 positions from 1 study. Every figure comes from the studies themselves, gathered by code from the GWAS Catalog and updated as the records grow.

What this condition connects to

Prevalence
Not taken from these records, which report study sizes rather than how common the condition is.
Inheritance
Polygenic in the records: 388 positions at genome-wide significance across 1 study, each common variant of small effect. Nothing here says how much of the condition is inherited.

Joubert Syndrome — filed in the GWAS Catalog as "Joubert syndrome" — is a condition this catalogue follows as its positions arrive. This page is assembled by MyGeneLog's own code from the catalogue's records and the studies' own listings: 388 positions from 1 study, and no sentence written by hand. It is rebuilt as new positions are reported, so what it says is what the records say today.

The studies, one by one

A study. The 388 positions on this page from it: rs1006433886 (RPGRIP1L), rs1014876003 (TMEM67), rs1027674181 (CC2D2A), rs1036618109 (MKS1), rs1037406858 (RPGRIP1L), rs1038920023 (TMEM67), rs1057520162 (RPGRIP1L), rs1114167302 (MKS1), and 380 more.

The positions

The 388 positions lie in or near 20 genes: RPGRIP1L, TMEM67, CC2D2A, MKS1, AHI1, CEP290, INPP5E, TCTN2, TMEM216, TCTN1, OFD1, TMEM218, B9D1, TOGARAM1, CPLANE1, KIAA0753, B9D2, RCOR1, IFT38, KATNIP. A gene named here is the catalogue's mapped location for a position, not a mechanism; the studies are cited above so that a reader can go to them.

Reading this page

Association records say which positions differ, on average, between people with Joubert Syndrome and people without. They do not describe the condition, say how common it is, or tell anyone what to do, so this page does not either. For a single position, open its variant page: it gives that study's record in fixed sentences, with ClinVar's where there is one.

Clinical detail

What is actually diagnosed and treated here

Joubert Syndrome is diagnosed by a clinician — not from a genotype. None of the 388 variants on this page is used by any guideline to predict, screen for or diagnose it.

Its sources are association records, and association records carry no clinical guidance, so neither does this page. What a genome-wide study reports is a difference between groups of people, not a finding about any one person. Symptoms, tests and treatment are questions for a clinician.

Questions about Joubert Syndrome

What is Joubert Syndrome?

In the GWAS Catalog, Joubert Syndrome is filed as "Joubert syndrome". Rather than define it, this page lists the genome-wide findings: 388 positions from 1 study, each with its study's sample and citation.

Is Joubert Syndrome genetic?

Genome-wide studies have reported 388 associated positions. Each common variant has a small effect, and an association in a population is not a cause in any one person.

Which genes are linked to Joubert Syndrome on this page?

The positions lie in or near 20 genes: RPGRIP1L, TMEM67, CC2D2A, MKS1, AHI1, CEP290, INPP5E, TCTN2, TMEM216, TCTN1, OFD1, TMEM218, B9D1, TOGARAM1, CPLANE1, KIAA0753, B9D2, RCOR1, IFT38, KATNIP. A mapped gene is the catalogue's location for a position, not a mechanism.

Can these variants predict whether I will get Joubert Syndrome?

No. They are population-level findings of small effect. Joubert Syndrome is diagnosed by a clinician, and no guideline uses a genotype to predict it.
