Autonomous and non-cell autonomous role of cilia in structural birth defects in mice [PDF]
Ciliopathies are associated with wide spectrum of structral birth defects (SBDs), indicating impoartant roles for cilia in decelopment , here we provide novel insights into the temporospatial requirement for cilia in SBDs arising from deficiency in ...

Coordination of IFT20 With Other IFT Components Is Required for Ciliogenesis
Intraflagellar transport is a bidirectional transport system essential for ciliogenesis. Using the IFT20 knockout cell lines established in this study, we found that IFT20 deficiency significantly impaired ciliogenesis and reduced cilium length. Further investigation revealed that IFT20 interacted with other IFT proteins and regulated their levels and ...

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 ...

Ciliary Hedgehog signaling regulates cell survival to build the facial midline
Craniofacial defects are among the most common phenotypes caused by ciliopathies, yet the developmental and molecular etiology of these defects is poorly understood.

Expanding CEP290 mutational spectrum in ciliopathies [PDF]
AbstractCiliopathies are an expanding group of rare conditions characterized by multiorgan involvement, that are caused by mutations in genes encoding for proteins of the primary cilium or its apparatus. Among these genes, CEP290 bears an intriguing allelic spectrum, being commonly mutated in Joubert syndrome and related disorders (JSRD), Meckel ...

Shortened primary cilium length and dysregulated Sonic hedgehog signaling in Niemann-Pick C1 disease [PDF]
The Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) disease is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder due to mutations in the NPC1 gene, encoding a transmembrane protein related to the Sonic hedgehog receptor, Patched, and involved in intracellular trafficking of ...

The Multifaceted Roles of Primary Cilia in the Development of the Cerebral Cortex
The primary cilium, a microtubule based organelle protruding from the cell surface and acting as an antenna in multiple signaling pathways, takes center stage in the formation of the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain that performs highly complex ...

ABSTRACT This manuscript summarises the debate held at the 2024 annual meeting of The International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis (ISPD). Experts discussed whether all fetuses undergoing fetal therapy should undergo exome sequencing. Arguments in favor included that, with increasing experience and better clinical availability, exome sequencing can ...

Congenital hepatic fibrosis: case report and review of literature
Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is a rare autosomal recessive disease derived from biliary dysgenesis secondary to ductal plate malformation; it often coexists with Caroli’s disease, von Meyenburg complexes, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
