Primary cilia and actin regulatory pathways in renal ciliopathies
Ciliopathies are a group of rare genetic disorders caused by defects to the structure or function of the primary cilium. They often affect multiple organs, leading to brain malformations, congenital heart defects, and anomalies of the retina or skeletal ...

ALMS1 Regulates TGF-β Signaling and Morphology of Primary Cilia
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role of ALMS1 in the morphology of primary cilia and regulation of cellular signaling using a knockdown model of the hTERT-RPE1 cell line.

Fifteen years of research on oral–facial–digital syndromes: from 1 to 16 causal genes [PDF]
Oral–facial–digital syndromes (OFDS) gather rare genetic disorders characterised by facial, oral and digital abnormalities associated with a wide range of additional features (polycystic kidney disease, cerebral malformations and several others) to ...

Ciliary Genes in Renal Cystic Diseases
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
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 ...

Mechanisms of Nephronophthisis and Related Ciliopathies [PDF]
An emerging group of human genetic diseases termed ‘ciliopathies’ are caused by dysfunction of two functionally and physically associated organelles, the centrosome and cilium. These organelles are central to perception of the physical environment through detection of a diverse variety of extracellular signals such as growth factors, chemicals, light ...

Dysregulation of sonic hedgehog signaling causes hearing loss in ciliopathy mouse models
Defective primary cilia cause a range of diseases known as ciliopathies, including hearing loss. The etiology of hearing loss in ciliopathies, however, remains unclear.
