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 ...

Ocular manifestations of renal ciliopathies
AbstractRenal ciliopathies are a common cause of kidney failure in children and adults, and this study reviewed their ocular associations. Genes affected in renal ciliopathies were identified from the Genomics England Panels. Ocular associations were identified from Medline and OMIM, and the genes additionally examined for expression in the human ...

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons
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.

Target enrichment using parallel nanoliter quantitative PCR amplification [PDF]
Background: Next generation targeted resequencing is replacing Sanger sequencing at high pace in routine genetic diagnosis. The need for well validated, high quality enrichment platforms to complement the bench-top next generation sequencing devices is ...

Taking Down the Primary Cilium: Pathways for Disassembly in Differentiating Cells
Primary cilia are developmentally essential subcellular signaling compartments. However, many differentiated cells lack primary cilia, and cilia disassembly in these tissue contexts has been largely overlooked. We highlight several pathways for primary cilia loss and examine how changes in ciliation states could contribute to diverse pathologies ...

Combined exome and whole-genome sequencing identifies mutations in ARMC4 as a cause of primary ciliary dyskinesia with defects in the outer dynein arm [PDF]
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare, genetically heterogeneous ciliopathy disorder affecting cilia and sperm motility. A range of ultrastructural defects of the axoneme underlie the disease, which is characterised by chronic respiratory symptoms ...

Disease-Associated Mutations in CEP120 Destabilize the Protein and Impair Ciliogenesis
Ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by a failure to form functional cilia. Due to a lack of structural information, it is currently poorly understood how ciliopathic mutations affect protein functionality to give rise to the underlying ...

Ciliopathies: Genetics in Pediatric Medicine [PDF]
Ciliary disorders, which are also referred to as ciliopathies, are a group of hereditary disorders that result from dysfunctional cilia. The latter are cellular organelles that stick up from the apical plasma membrane. Cilia have important roles in signal transduction and facilitate communications between cells and their surroundings.

Pallister‐Hall syndrome: from phenotype to molecular diagnosis. ABSTRACT Background Pallister‐Hall syndrome (PHS) is an extremely rare genetic disorder. It presents as a polymalformative syndrome affecting craniofacial structures, the central nervous system, limbs, various internal organs, and the endocrine system.
