Clinical Information

• Joubert Syndrome

  a rare genetic syndrome characterized by the hypoplasia or absence of the cerebellar vermis. signs and symptoms include rapid breathing (hyperpnea), sleep apnea, abnormal eye movements, mental retardation, and ataxia.

• Joubert Syndrome 17|JBTS17

  an autosomal recessive subtype of joubert syndrome caused by mutation(s) in the cplane1 gene, encoding ciliogenesis and planar polarity effector 1.

• Joubert Syndrome 3|JBTS3

  an autosomal recessive subtype of joubert syndrome caused by mutation(s) in the ahi1 gene, encoding jouberin.

• Joubert Syndrome 4

  a rare genetic syndrome caused by mutations in the nphp1 gene. it is characterized by the hypoplasia or absence of the cerebellar vermis. signs and symptoms include rapid breathing (hyperpnea), sleep apnea, abnormal eye movements, mental retardation, and ataxia.

• Joubert Syndrome 7|JBTS7

  an autosomal recessive sub-type of joubert syndrome caused by mutation(s) in the rpgrip1l gene, encoding a protein thought to function in programmed cell death. it is characterized by cerebellar and oculomotor apraxia, hypotonia and psychomotor delay, neonatal respiratory abnormalities, renal abnormalities, and retinal dystrophy.

• Joubert Syndrome 9|JBTS9

  an autosomal recessive subtype of joubert syndrome caused by mutation(s) in the cc2d2a gene, encoding coiled-coil and c2 domain-containing protein 2a.

H35.00 is grouped with Diagnostic Related Groups - MS-DRG Mapping

Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a classification system used to group together diagnosis codes for the purpose of reimbursement and healthcare management. DRGs are used to standardize the way hospitals and other providers are paid for inpatient services. In this system patients are grouped together based on their principal diagnosis in areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). Once a patient is assigned a particular diagnostic category, providers receive a predetermined payment rate for the services rendered. This reimbursement rate is often fixed and is meant to cover the cost of care for that patient. Reimbursement is also affected by the relative weight of a diagnostic related group based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Diagnostic related groups encourage healthcare providers to focus on quality and efficiency in patient care while managing costs effectively. The diagnosis code is present in the following groups for version MS-DRG V41.0 applicable from 10/01/2023 through 09/30/2024.

The relative weight of a diagnostic related group determines the reimbursement rate based on the severity of a patient's illness and the associated cost of care during hospitalization.

Patient Education

Retinal Disorders

The retina is a layer of tissue in the back of your eye that senses light and sends images to your brain. In the center of this nerve tissue is the macula. It provides the sharp, central vision needed for reading, driving and seeing fine detail.

Retinal disorders affect this vital tissue. They can affect your vision, and some can be serious enough to cause blindness. Examples are:

• Macular degeneration - a disease that destroys your sharp, central vision
• Diabetic eye disease
• Retinal detachment - a medical emergency, when the retina is pulled away from the back of the eye
• Retinoblastoma - cancer of the retina. It is most common in young children.
• Macular pucker - scar tissue on the macula
• Macular hole - a small break in the macula that usually happens to people over 60
• Floaters - cobwebs or specks in your field of vision
