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 ...

Mutations in DYNC2LI1 disrupt cilia function and cause short rib polydactyly syndrome. [PDF]
The short rib polydactyly syndromes (SRPSs) are a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive, perinatal lethal skeletal disorders characterized primarily by short, horizontal ribs, short limbs and polydactyly.

Primary cilia are hair-like organelles expressed by almost every cell in the body. Although they were first recognized at the end of the 19th century, their functions remained obscure until the last decade. It is increasingly recognized that disorders of cilia structure or function underlie a number of rare human genetic diseases that affect the kidney

The proper development of the vocal cords requires embryos to contain a certain number of progenitor cells, and mutations that lead to an overflow of cells can cause malformations of the voice box.

Eupatilin rescues ciliary transition zone defects to ameliorate ciliopathy-related phenotypes
Ciliopathies are clinically overlapping genetic disorders involving structural and functional abnormalities of cilia. Currently, there are no small-molecule drugs available to treat ciliary defects in ciliopathies.
