Primary Cilium-Mediated Retinal Pigment Epithelium Maturation Is Disrupted in Ciliopathy Patient Cells

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Primary cilia are sensory organelles that protrude from the cell membrane. Defects in the primary cilium cause ciliopathy disorders, with retinal degeneration as a prominent phenotype.

Ciliopathy-Associated Protein Kinase ICK Requires Its Non-Catalytic Carboxyl-Terminal Domain for Regulation of Ciliogenesis

open access: yesCells, 2019
Loss-of-function mutations in the human ICK (intestinal cell kinase) gene cause dysfunctional primary cilia and perinatal lethality which are associated with human ciliopathies.

Identical IFT140 Variants Cause Variable Skeletal Ciliopathy Phenotypes—Challenges for the Accurate Diagnosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Ciliopathies are rare congenital disorders, caused by defects in the cilium, that cover a broad clinical spectrum. A subgroup of ciliopathies showing significant phenotypic overlap are known as skeletal ciliopathies and include Jeune asphyxiating ...

CiliOPD: a ciliopathy-associated COPD endotype

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2021
The pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) relies on airway remodelling and inflammation. Alterations of mucociliary clearance are a major hallmark of COPD caused by structural and functional cilia abnormalities.

Analysis of genome-wide knockout mouse database identifies candidate ciliopathy genes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
We searched a database of single-gene knockout (KO) mice produced by the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) to identify candidate ciliopathy genes.

PATJ deficiency leads to cystic kidney disease and related ciliopathies [PDF]

open access: yesHGG Advances
Summary: Cystic kidney disease and related ciliopathies are caused by pathogenic variants in genes that commonly result in ciliary dysfunction. For a substantial number of individuals affected by those cilia-related diseases, the causative gene remains ...

Gene Correction Reverses Ciliopathy and Photoreceptor Loss in iPSC-Derived Retinal Organoids from Retinitis Pigmentosa Patients

open access: yesStem Cell Reports, 2018
Summary Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an irreversible, inherited retinopathy in which early-onset nyctalopia is observed. Despite the genetic heterogeneity of RP, RPGR mutations are the most common causes of this disease.

The human ciliopathy protein RSG1 links the CPLANE complex to transition zone architecture [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Cilia are essential organelles, and variants in genes governing ciliary function result in ciliopathic diseases. The Ciliogenesis and PLANar polarity Effectors (CPLANE) protein complex is essential for ciliogenesis, and all but one subunit of the CPLANE ...

Multimerization of Zika Virus-NS5 Causes Ciliopathy and Forces Premature Neurogenesis

open access: yesCell Stem Cell, 2020
Zika virus (ZikV) is a flavivirus that infects neural tissues, causing congenital microcephaly. ZikV has evolved multiple mechanisms to restrict proliferation and enhance cell death, although the underlying cellular events involved remain unclear.
