The identification of a patient carrying a novel homozygous p.(Gln206Ter) POC5 variant revealed a metabolic phenotype associated with POC5 deficiency. POC5 deficiency disrupts centriolar architecture and ciliary organization, leading to impaired proliferation, premature cellular senescence, and reduced insulin signaling.

ABSTRACT Despite technological advances in both tracking and sequencing technologies, finding the genetic mechanisms behind migratory traits remains a challenge. Recent studies have shown that migratory direction in European willow warblers (Phylloscopus trochilus) is mainly influenced by a repeat‐rich region named MARB.
