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.

Subcellular localization of MC4R with ADCY3 at neuronal primary cilia underlies a common pathway for genetic predisposition to obesity. [PDF]
Most monogenic cases of obesity in humans have been linked to mutations in genes encoding members of the leptin-melanocortin pathway. Specifically, mutations in MC4R, the melanocortin-4 receptor gene, account for 3-5% of all severe obesity cases in ...

The morbid genome of ciliopathies: an update [PDF]
Ciliopathies are highly heterogeneous clinical disorders of the primary cilium. We aim to characterize a large cohort of ciliopathies phenotypically and molecularly.Detailed phenotypic and genomic analysis of patients with ciliopathies, and functional characterization of novel candidate genes.In this study, we describe 125 families with ciliopathies ...

Ciliary motility is powered by a suite of highly conserved axoneme-specific dynein motor complexes. In humans, the impairment of these motors through mutation results in the disease primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

Ciliopathies: Coloring outside of the lines [PDF]
AbstractCiliopathy syndromes are a diverse spectrum of disease characterized by a combination of cystic kidney disease, hepatobiliary disease, retinopathy, skeletal dysplasia, developmental delay, and brain malformations. Though generally divided into distinct disease categories based on the pattern of system involvement, ciliopathy syndromes are known

A child resides within a young adult: The first reported case of Alström syndrome in Bangladesh
A 32‐year‐old male case with short stature presented to us with audio‐visual impairment, obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia, and hypogonadism. The single‐gene genetic analysis revealed an ALMS1 gene mutation.

Nephronophthisis-Associated Ciliopathies [PDF]
Nephronophthisis (NPHP), an autosomal recessive cystic kidney disease, represents the most frequent genetic cause of end-stage kidney disease in the first three decades of life. Contrary to polycystic kidney disease, NPHP shows normal or diminished kidney size, cysts are concentrated at the corticomedullary junction, and tubulointerstitial fibrosis is ...

Kidney transcriptome and cystic kidney disease genes in zebrafish
Introduction: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a condition where fluid filled cysts form on the kidney which leads to overall renal failure. Zebrafish has been recently adapted to study polycystic kidney disease, because of its powerful embryology and ...

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 ...
