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 ...

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.
