Efficacy and safety of setmelanotide, a melanocortin-4 receptor agonist, in patients with Bardet-Biedl syndrome and Alström syndrome: a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial with an open-label period

open access: yesThe Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, 2022
SUMMARY Background: Impaired cilial signaling in the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) pathway may contribute to obesity in Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) or Alström syndrome, rare genetic diseases associated with hyperphagia and early-onset, severe obesity ...

alms1 mutant zebrafish do not show hair cell phenotypes seen in other cilia mutants.

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Alstrom syndrome: A case report.

open access: yesJournal of Oral Science, 2001
Alstrom syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by early obesity, loss of central vision, diabetes mellitus, hearing loss and short stature. Previous studies, have reported no information regarding oral findings. This article describes oral findings in two cases of Alstrom syndrome.

The role of an ophthalmologist in the Alström syndrome diagnosis [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2019
Introduction. The Alström syndrome (AS) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, affecting fewer than 1: 1,000,000 people globally. It is a single gene disorder due to the mutation of ALMS1 on chromosome 2 (2p13).

Translational readthrough of ciliopathy genes BBS2 and ALMS1 restores protein, ciliogenesis and function in patient fibroblasts

open access: yesEBioMedicine, 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 ...
