A systems-biology approach to understanding the ciliopathy disorders. [PDF]
, 2011 'Ciliopathies' are an emerging class of genetic multisystemic human disorders that are caused by a multitude of largely unrelated genes that affect ciliary structure/function.

Reversal of ciliary mechanisms of disassembly rescues olfactory dysfunction in ciliopathies
JCI Insight, 2022 Ciliopathies are a class of genetic diseases resulting in cilia dysfunction in multiple organ systems, including the olfactory system. Currently, there are no available curative treatments for olfactory dysfunction and other symptoms in ciliopathies. The

Ccdc11 is a novel centriolar satellite protein essential for ciliogenesis and establishment of left-right asymmetry [PDF]
, 2016 The establishment of left–right (L-R) asymmetry in vertebrates is dependent on the sensory and motile functions of cilia during embryogenesis. Mutations in CCDC11 disrupt L-R asymmetry and cause congenital heart disease in humans, yet the molecular and ...

Ciliary Genes in Renal Cystic Diseases
Cells, 2020 Cilia are microtubule-based organelles, protruding from the apical cell surface and anchoring to the cytoskeleton. Primary (nonmotile) cilia of the kidney act as mechanosensors of nephron cells, responding to fluid movements by triggering signal ...

Prenatal phenotype analysis and mutation identification of a fetus with meckel gruber syndrome
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Ciliopathies are a class of inherited severe human disorders that occur due to defective formation or function of cilia. The RPGRIP1L (retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator-interacting protein1-like) gene encodes for a ciliary protein involved in ...

Characterizing the morbid genome of ciliopathies [PDF]
, 2016 Background Ciliopathies are clinically diverse disorders of the primary cilium. Remarkable progress has been made in understanding the molecular basis of these genetically heterogeneous conditions; however, our knowledge of their morbid genome ...
