Variants in the GLIS family zinc finger protein 2 (GLIS2) are a rare cause of nephronophthisis-related ciliopathies (NPHP-RC). A reduction in urinary concentration and a progressive chronic tubulointerstitial nephropathy with corticomedullary cysts are ...

Zebrafish Assays of Ciliopathies [PDF]
In light of the growing list of human disorders associated with their dysfunction, primary cilia have recently come to attention as being important regulators of developmental signaling pathways and downstream processes. These organelles, present on nearly every vertebrate cell type, are highly conserved structures allowing for study across a range of ...

Using Paramecium as a Model for Ciliopathies [PDF]
Paramecium has served as a model organism for the studies of many aspects of genetics and cell biology: non-Mendelian inheritance, genome duplication, genome rearrangements, and exocytosis, to name a few. However, the large number and patterning of cilia that cover its surface have inspired extraordinary ultrastructural work.

Characterizing the morbid genome of ciliopathies [PDF]
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 ...

Review on Genes related to Postaxial Polydactyly
Background: Postaxial polydactyly (PAP) is one of the commonest congenital malformations and usually is associated to several syndromes . There is no primary investigational strategy for PAP cases with single gene disorder in literature.

Dysfunction of primary cilia leads to genetic disorder, ciliopathies, which shows various malformations in many vital organs such as brain. Multiple tongue deformities including cleft, hamartoma, and ankyloglossia are also seen in ciliopathies, which ...

Streamlining Diagnosis of Bardet–Biedl Syndrome: New Diagnostic Algorithm With Updated Criteria
ABSTRACT Considerable advances have been made in our understanding of Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS), particularly in its core clinical features and molecular genetics, warranting an update to the existing diagnostic criteria framework. Using a rigorous, evidence‐based, and consensus‐driven process, a multidisciplinary group of international experts and ...

Compound Heterozygous Variants in the IFT140 Gene Associated with Skeletal Ciliopathies
Ciliopathies are rare congenital disorders caused by defects in the structure or function of cilia, which can lead to a wide range of clinical manifestations. Among them, a subset known as skeletal ciliopathies exhibits significant phenotypic overlap and
