Mouse models of ciliopathies: the state of the art
The ciliopathies are an apparently disparate group of human diseases that all result from defects in the formation and/or function of cilia. They include disorders such as Meckel-Grüber syndrome (MKS), Joubert syndrome (JBTS), Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS)

Location, location, location: the evolutionary history of CD1 genes and the NKR-P1/ligand systems [PDF]
CD1 genes encode cell surface molecules that present lipid antigens to various kinds of T lymphocytes of the immune system. The structures of CD1 genes and molecules are like the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I system, the loading of ...

Identification of Variants in Four Families With Inherited Eye Disorders by Whole Exome Sequencing
Our study identified mutations in genes in families associated with different eye disorders. We also explored the effect of a novel variant identified in the ALMS1 gene by using patient‐specific cells. Finally, previously published data was compiled to establish the genotype–phenotype relation.

Alternative Splicing Regulation in Metabolic Disorders
ABSTRACT Alternative splicing (AS) is a fundamental mechanism for enhancing transcriptome diversity and regulating gene expression, crucial for various cellular processes and the development of complex traits. This review examines the role of AS in metabolic disorders, including obesity, weight loss, dyslipidemias, and metabolic syndrome.

Environmental proxies of antigen exposure explain variation in immune investment better than indices of pace of life. [PDF]
Investment in immune defences is predicted to covary with a variety of ecologically and evolutionarily relevant axes, with pace of life and environmental antigen exposure being two examples.

Rare Case of Laurence–Moon–Bardet–Biedl Syndrome With Pulmonary Hypertension: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Laurence‐Moon‐Bardet‐Biedl Syndrome is a complicated polygenic disorder that can have lethal manifestations such as pulmonary hypertension. Early recognition, comprehensive medical treatment, and psychological intervention for the family are crucial, but survival is usually short in those with a poor functional status and increasingly impaired

Improving the diagnosis of hyperphagia in melanocortin‐4 receptor pathway diseases
Abstract Characteristics of hyperphagia include heightened and prolonged hunger, longer time to satiation, shorter duration of satiety, severe preoccupation with food (i.e., hyperphagic drive), abnormal food‐seeking behaviors, and distress or functional impairment when food is unavailable.
