Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
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).
Autosomal recessive inheritance (Orphanet)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0016364
Orphanet: ORPHA220493

Definition

The most frequent subtype of Joubert syndrome with manifestation of neurological features of Joubert Syndrome associated with retinal dystrophy. Prevalence is unknown. Age of onset and severity of retinal involvement are variable, ranging from congenital to progressive retinopathy with partial conservation of vision. To date, the most frequently mutated gene in this subtype is AHI1 (6q23.2), which accounts for about 20% of cases, following autosomal recessive inheritance. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
