Histopathology of the Human Inner Ear in Alström\u27s Syndrome. [PDF]
Alström\u27s syndrome is an autosomal recessive syndromic genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ALMS1 gene. Sensorineural hearing loss occurs in greater than 85% of patients.

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)

A Practical Guide to Genetic Eye Conditions for Paediatricians
ABSTRACT Introduction Inherited eye disorders, though individually rare, are a collectively common cause of paediatric vision impairment. Many occur as part of a syndrome, in association with congenital anomalies and/or growth/developmental disorders.

Letter. Mutation of ALMS1, a large gene with a tandem repeat encoding 47 amino acids, causes Alström syndrome [PDF]
Alström syndrome (OMIM 203800) is an autosomal recessive disease, characterized by cone-rod retinal dystrophy, cardiomyopathy and type 2 diabetes mellitus, that has been mapped to chromosome 2p13 (refs 1-5).

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.
