Dzip1 and Fam92 form a ciliary transition zone complex with cell type specific roles in Drosophila
eLife, 2019 Cilia and flagella are conserved eukaryotic organelles essential for cellular signaling and motility. Cilia dysfunctions cause life-threatening ciliopathies, many of which are due to defects in the transition zone (TZ), a complex structure of the ciliary

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.Prenatal exome sequencing significantly improves diagnostic yield over chromosomal microarray analysis for fetal CNS abnormalities, with a diagnostic yield of 16% in our cohort and 27% in the meta‐analysis. Diagnostic yields vary across different phenotypes. Abstract Introduction Fetal central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities have diverse etiologies,

Ciliopathies: an expanding disease spectrum [PDF]
Pediatric Nephrology, 2011 Ciliopathies comprise a group of disorders associated with genetic mutations encoding defective proteins, which result in either abnormal formation or function of cilia. As cilia are a component of almost all vertebrate cells, cilia dysfunction can manifest as a constellation of features that include characteristically, retinal degeneration, renal ...

Ciliopathies: Genetic Counseling
, 2022 Joubert syndrome (JS) follows autosomal recessive inheritance, with rare X-linked recessive cases. The disease is genetically heterogeneous with neurological features associated with multiorgan involvement (e.g., retinal dystrophy, nephronophthisis ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Wnt proteins are a family of molecules that help control how cells grow, develop and communicate – processes that are fundamental to the development and health of all animals. Although Wnt pathways have been studied extensively in model species, very little is known about how they operate in marine fish.

Setmelanotide in Bardet‐Biedl Syndrome: A Case Report
Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Setmelanotide is a melanocortin‐4‐receptor agonist used for the treatment of hyperphagia in the genetic obesity syndrome Bardet‐Biedl. Presented is a case of diffuse hyperpigmentation in a patient treated with setmelanotide, which represents the most common side effect of this medication.

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

A Case Report on the Bardet Biedl Syndrome with Hypokalaemic Paralysis [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2013 The Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), a rare autosomal recessive disorder, was first described by Bardet and Biedl in 1920. Here, we are reporting a case of the Bardet-Biedl syndrome with hypokalaemic paralysis.
