Added comment: Across nine studies, 33 families (32 independent) with 37 affected individuals have been reported harbouring biallelic loss‑of‑function KIAA0586 variants. All families present the core Joubert syndrome phenotype – cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, molar‑tooth sign, ataxia, developmental delay and hypotonia – with variable additional features such as chronic airway disease, thoracic dysplasia, ocular‑motor apraxia, epilepsy or SUDEP. Autosomal recessive inheritance is consistently demonstrated (e.g., PMID 26026149 box 30, PMID 26386247 box 31). Functional assays show absent KIAA0586 protein or shortened cilia in patient fibroblasts, but no rescue experiments or orthogonal animal models (e.g., PMID 26026149 box 114; PMID 26386247 box 28). A recurrent frameshift allele (c.428delG) is common (gnomAD AF ≈ 0.003) and observed homozygously in healthy individuals, yet is interpreted as a hypomorphic variant that contributes to disease when paired with a second loss‑of‑function allele. No convincing contradictory evidence has been published. The phenotype’s hallmark ataxia makes KIAA0586 a clear fit for the Ataxia panel, which prioritises genes causing disorders where ataxia is a prominent feature.
