Bardet–Biedl syndrome with choledochal cyst: Rare association with a novel variant
Bardet–Biedl syndrome is an autosomal-recessive ciliopathic disorder affecting multiple organ systems. Characteristic features include progressive retinal dystrophy, obesity, polydactyly hypogonadism, mental retardation, and renal disorders.

Summary: Primary cilia are sensory organelles that protrude from the cell membrane. Defects in the primary cilium cause ciliopathy disorders, with retinal degeneration as a prominent phenotype.

RPGR protein complex regulates proteasome activity and mediates store-operated calcium entry [PDF]
Ciliopathies are a group of genetically heterogeneous disorders, characterized by defects in cilia genesis or maintenance. Mutations in the RPGR gene and its interacting partners, RPGRIP1 and RPGRIP1L, cause ciliopathies, but the function of their ...

Disruption of the basal body protein POC1B results in autosomal-recessive cone-rod dystrophy [PDF]
Exome sequencing revealed a homozygous missense mutation (c.317C>G [p.Arg106Pro]) in POC1B, encoding POC1 centriolar protein B, in three siblings with autosomal-recessive cone dystrophy or cone-rod dystrophy and compound-heterozygous POC1B mutations (c ...

NPHP is the most common monogenic cause of CKD in children or adolescents. Extra-renal symptoms often accompany, therefore examination of retina, hearing, and skeleton is necessary in patients with CKD with insidious onset.

Golgi Dysfunctions in Ciliopathies
The Golgi apparatus (GA) is essential for intracellular sorting, trafficking and the targeting of proteins to specific cellular compartments. Anatomically, the GA spreads all over the cell but is also particularly enriched close to the base of the ...

A systems-biology approach to understanding the ciliopathy disorders. [PDF]
'Ciliopathies' are an emerging class of genetic multisystemic human disorders that are caused by a multitude of largely unrelated genes that affect ciliary structure/function.

Identification of PKD1L1 Gene Variants in Children with the Biliary Atresia Splenic Malformation Syndrome [PDF]
Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of end‐stage liver disease in children and the primary indication for pediatric liver transplantation, yet underlying etiologies remain unknown.
