Identical IFT140 Variants Cause Variable Skeletal Ciliopathy Phenotypes—Challenges for the Accurate Diagnosis [PDF]
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 ...

Insights Gained From Zebrafish Models for the Ciliopathy Joubert Syndrome
Cilia are quasi-ubiquitous microtubule-based sensory organelles, which play vital roles in signal transduction during development and cell homeostasis.

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

CiliOPD: a ciliopathy-associated COPD endotype
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 [PDF]
We searched a database of single-gene knockout (KO) mice produced by the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) to identify candidate ciliopathy genes.

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

TMEM218 dysfunction causes ciliopathies, including Joubert and Meckel syndromes
Summary: The Joubert-Meckel syndrome spectrum is a continuum of recessive ciliopathy conditions caused by primary cilium dysfunction. The primary cilium is a microtubule-based, antenna-like organelle that projects from the surface of most human cell ...

Background The cilia are microtubule-based organelles that protrude from the cell surface. Abnormalities in cilia result in various ciliopathies, including polycystic kidney disease (PKD), Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), and oral-facial-digital syndrome ...
