A role for Alström syndrome protein, alms1, in kidney ciliogenesis and cellular quiescence. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2007 Premature truncation alleles in the ALMS1 gene are a frequent cause of human Alström syndrome. Alström syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by early obesity and sensory impairment, symptoms shared with other genetic diseases affecting proteins of ...

The Alström syndrome protein, ALMS1, interacts with α-actinin and components of the endosome recycling pathway. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Alström syndrome (ALMS) is a progressive multi-systemic disorder characterized by cone-rod dystrophy, sensorineural hearing loss, childhood obesity, insulin resistance and cardiac, renal, and hepatic dysfunction. The gene responsible for Alström syndrome,

Loss of the centrosomal protein ALMS1 alters lipid metabolism and the regulation of extracellular matrix-related processes [PDF]
Biology Direct, 2023 Background Alström syndrome (ALMS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that is associated with mutations in ALMS1 gene. The main clinical manifestations of ALMS are retinal dystrophy, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dilated cardiomyopathy and multi ...

alms1 mutant zebrafish do not show hair cell phenotypes seen in other cilia mutants.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Multiple cilia-associated genes have been shown to affect hair cells in zebrafish (Danio rerio), including the human deafness gene dcdc2, the radial spoke gene rsph9, and multiple intraflagellar transport (IFT) and transition zone genes.
