Ciliopathies: The Trafficking Connection [PDF]

open access: yesTraffic, 2014
The primary cilium (PC) is a very dynamic hair‐like membrane structure that assembles/disassembles in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner and is present in almost every cell type. Despite being continuous with the plasma membrane, a diffusion barrier located at the ciliary base confers the PC properties of a separate organelle with very specific ...

The Retinal Ciliopathies

Ophthalmic Genetics, 2007
While the functions of many of the proteins located in or associated with the photoreceptor cilia are poorly understood, disruption of the function of these proteins may result in a wide variety of phenotypes ranging from isolated retinal degeneration to more pleiotropic phenotypes.

Renal ciliopathies

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2019
Renal ciliopathies are a group of disorders characterised by nephronophthisis, cystic kidneys or renal cystic dysplasia whose underlying disease pathogenesis is related to abnormal structure or function of the primary cilia complex. The number of renal ciliopathies continues to expand as genomic and genetic approaches identify novel causes.

Cilia and ciliopathy

Genes & Cells, 2020
Cilia (cilia) are organelles that are characteristic exclusively for eukaryotes and are found in protozoa, on somatic and germ cells of multicellular, as well as gametes of many plants. In humans, two main types of cilia are distinguished: motile and sensory; also in embryogenesis, it is customary to isolate special nodular cilia necessary for the ...

Ciliopathy: Usher Syndrome

2018
Ciliopathies are a group of disorders caused by a defect in ciliogenesis, ciliary protein trafficking. Because nearly every cell in the body (including the photoreceptors) contains cilia, defects in ciliary proteins typically affect multiple organ systems.

Medical genetics of ciliopathies

Journal of Pediatric Genetics, 2015
Neither of us had heard about the existence of cilia during biology or genetics courses in high school or university. Nonetheless, these evolutionarily conserved, antenna-shaped organelles of the cell appear to be essential for human development and proper functioning of our organs.

Renal ciliopathies

Primary cilia are essential cellular organelles with pivotal roles in many signalling pathways. Here we provide an overview of the role of primary cilia within the kidney, starting with primary ciliary structure and key protein complexes. We then highlight the specialised functions of primary cilia, emphasising their role in a group of diseases known ...

Ciliopathy: Alström Syndrome

2018
Alström syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease with multisystem involvement, including cone-rod dystrophy, hearing loss, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance with hyperinsulinemia, dilated cardiomyopathy, and progressive hepatic and renal failure.

Renal Pathology of Ciliopathies

Pediatric and Developmental Pathology
Renal ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders that affect the function of the primary cilium in the kidney, as well as other organs. Since primary cilia are important for regulation of cell signaling pathways, ciliary dysfunction results in a range of clinical manifestations, including renal failure, cyst formation, and hypertension.

Zebrafish as a Model for Human Ciliopathies

Journal of Genetics and Genomics, 2016
Cilia, microtubule-based structures found on the surface of almost all vertebrate cells, play an array of diverse biological functions. Abnormal ciliary axonemal structure and function can result in a class of genetic disorders that are collectively termed ciliopathies.
