Exploring the Spectrum of Kidney Ciliopathies [PDF]
Ciliopathies are a group of multi-organ diseases caused by the disruption of the primary cilium. This event leads to a variety of kidney disorders, including nephronophthisis, renal cystic dysplasia, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Primary cilium contributes to the regulation of the cell cycle and protein homeostasis, that is, the balance between ...

PDE6δ-mediated sorting of INPP5E into the cilium is determined by cargo-carrier affinity [PDF]
The phosphodiesterase 6 delta subunit (PDE6δ) shuttles several farnesylated cargos between membranes. The cargo sorting mechanism between cilia and other compartments is not understood.

The morbid genome of ciliopathies: an update [PDF]
Ciliopathies are highly heterogeneous clinical disorders of the primary cilium. We aim to characterize a large cohort of ciliopathies phenotypically and molecularly.Detailed phenotypic and genomic analysis of patients with ciliopathies, and functional characterization of novel candidate genes.In this study, we describe 125 families with ciliopathies ...

Orofacial-digital syndrome type 1 with patchy scalp alopecia in an Indian child
Introduction: Oral-facial-digital syndrome (OFDS) is a rare type of ectodermal dysplasias characterized by malformations of the face, oral cavity, and digits. The OFDS type 1 is most common and has an X-linked dominant inheritance. Case report: We report

Basal body stability and ciliogenesis requires the conserved component Poc1 [PDF]
Centrioles are the foundation for centrosome and cilia formation. The biogenesis of centrioles is initiated by an assembly mechanism that first synthesizes the ninefold symmetrical cartwheel and subsequently leads to a stable cylindrical microtubule ...

Cilia are hair-like organelles that extend from the surface of almost all human cells. Nine doublet microtubule pairs make up the core of each cilium, known as the axoneme. Cilia are classified as motile or immotile; non motile or primary cilia are involved in sensing the extracellular environment. These organelles mediate perception of chemo-, mechano-

Identification of PKD1L1 Gene Variants in Children with the Biliary Atresia Splenic Malformation Syndrome [PDF]
Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of end‐stage liver disease in children and the primary indication for pediatric liver transplantation, yet underlying etiologies remain unknown.

Nephronophthisis-Associated Ciliopathies [PDF]
Nephronophthisis (NPHP), an autosomal recessive cystic kidney disease, represents the most frequent genetic cause of end-stage kidney disease in the first three decades of life. Contrary to polycystic kidney disease, NPHP shows normal or diminished kidney size, cysts are concentrated at the corticomedullary junction, and tubulointerstitial fibrosis is ...

Tectonic Proteins Are Important Players in Non-Motile Ciliopathies
Primary cilium is a ubiquitous, tiny organelle on the apex of the mammalian cells. Non-motile (primary) ciliopathies are diseases caused by the dysfunction of the primary cilium and they are characterized by diverse clinical and genetic heterogeneity. To

Centriolar Protein C2cd3 Is Required for Craniofacial Development
The primary cilium is a ubiquitous, microtubule-based cellular organelle. Primary cilia dysfunction results in a group of disorders termed ciliopathies. C2 domain containing 3 centriole elongation regulator (C2cd3), encodes a centriolar protein essential
