Condition	Inheritance	Intervention Categories	Intervention/Rationale	Manifestation Categories	References
Joubert syndrome 14	AR	General	Genetic knowledge may be beneficial related to issues such as selection of optimal supportive care, informed medical decision-making, prognostic considerations, and avoidance of unnecessary testing	Craniofacial; Musculoskeletal; Neurologic; Ophthalmologic; Renal	17603801; 20301500; 22152675
The condition may involve multi-systemic manifestations, including sequelae affecting the renal and hepatic systems, and surveillance and avoidance of certain medications (eg, nephrotoxic agents) may be beneficial

Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the TMEM237 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_001044385.3. Only rare variants are included in the table.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

• Disease: DISEASE: Joubert syndrome 14 (JBTS14) [MIM:614424]: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe mental retardation, hypotonia, breathing abnormalities in infancy, and dysmorphic facial features. Neuroradiologically, it is characterized by cerebellar vermian hypoplasia/aplasia, thickened and reoriented superior cerebellar peduncles, and an abnormally large interpeduncular fossa, giving the appearance of a molar tooth on transaxial slices (molar tooth sign). Additional variable features include renal disease, abnormal eye movements, and postaxial polydactyly. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22152675}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
