Senior- Loken Syndrome – A Ciliopathy
Senior - Loken syndrome is a rare combination of juvenile nephronophthisis and tapeto - retinal degeneration. The author describes two patients who presented with varying degrees of retinal dystrophy and renal insufficiency in their second decade of life. Both the patients presented with severe renal failure requiring hemodialysis.

The \u3cem\u3eChlamydomonas\u3c/em\u3e Genome Reveals the Evolution of Key Animal and Plant Functions [PDF]
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a unicellular green alga whose lineage diverged from land plants over 1 billion years ago. It is a model system for studying chloroplast-based photosynthesis, as well as the structure, assembly, and function of eukaryotic ...

An organelle-specific protein landscape identifies novel diseases and molecular mechanisms [PDF]
Cellular organelles provide opportunities to relate biological mechanisms to disease. Here we use affinity proteomics, genetics and cell biology to interrogate cilia: poorly understood organelles, where defects cause genetic diseases.

Ophthalmologic Manifestations in Bardet–Biedl Syndrome: Emerging Therapeutic Approaches
Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare multisystem ciliopathy characterized by early-onset retinal degeneration and other vision-threatening ophthalmologic manifestations. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the ocular phenotype of BBS as well as

FAM161A, associated with retinitis pigmentosa, is a component of the cilia-basal body complex and interacts with proteins involved in ciliopathies [PDF]
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a retinal degenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of photoreceptors. We have previously demonstrated that RP can be caused by recessive mutations in the human FAM161A gene, encoding a protein with unknown ...
