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.

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
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.

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 ...

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]
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
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.
