DISCUSSION Classic cases of JBS present in early infancy with syndromic features and severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

Management and treatment Treatment includes oral administration of exogenous pancreatic enzymes and nutritional support (high-calorie diet with 30-40% calories from fat, lipase, fat-soluble vitamins and mineral supplementation) for pancreatic insufficiency [orpha.net]

Treatment The treatment for this syndrome is based on the specific symptoms that are evident in each of the cases. [mybiosource.com]

A better prognosis can be achieved by treating pancreatic insufficiency and hypothyroidism separately. [news-medical.net]

Prognosis Pancreatic insufficiency and complications of severe malnutrition (e.g. severe hypoproteinemia, vitamin deficiency, immunodeficiency) may lead to death in infancy or early childhood. [orpha.net]

Affected individuals should talk to their physician and medical team about their specific case, associated symptoms and overall prognosis. Infants with JBS typically have distinctive craniofacial abnormalities at birth. [rarediseases.org]

The possible etiologic basis for the hearing loss in this syndrome is discussed and the literature is reviewed. [semanticscholar.org]

Etiology Most cases of JBS are caused by mutations of UBR1 gene (15q13) which encodes a protein highly expressed in pancreatic acinar cells. [orpha.net]

No definite etiology could be established. This feature has not been described in previous reports of JBS. [wjgnet.com]

Summary Epidemiology The prevalence of JBS in Europe has been estimated to be around 1/250,000 live births. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology JBS is predicted to affect 1 in every 250,000 people. There is no gender difference in JBS cases reported to date. Consanguinity between parents is a common occurrence. [news-medical.net]
