Transcriptional regulation of the Alström syndrome gene ALMS1 by members of the RFX family and Sp1
Gene, 2010 Mutations in the human gene ALMS1 cause Alström syndrome, a disorder characterised by neurosensory degeneration, metabolic defects and cardiomyopathy. ALMS1 encodes a centrosomal protein implicated in the assembly and maintenance of primary cilia. Expression of ALMS1 varies between tissues and recent data suggest that its transcription is modulated ...

Translational readthrough of ciliopathy genes BBS2 and ALMS1 restores protein, ciliogenesis and function in patient fibroblasts [PDF]
EBioMedicine, 2021 Background: Ciliary dysfunction underlies a range of genetic disorders collectively termed ciliopathies, for which there are no treatments available. Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is characterised by multisystemic involvement, including rod-cone dystrophy ...

Prevalence and Clinical Relevance of Alström Syndrome Protein 1 Gene Variant and Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Sphynx Cats in Thailand [PDF]
AnimalsFeline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common cardiac disease in cats, causing morbidity and mortality. Recently, a variant in the Alström syndrome protein 1 (ALMS1) gene has been reported to be associated with HCM in Sphynx cats.
