Organization, functions, and mechanisms of the BBSome in development, ciliopathies, and beyond
The BBSome is an octameric protein complex that regulates ciliary transport and signaling. Mutations in BBSome subunits are closely associated with ciliary defects and lead to ciliopathies, notably Bardet-Biedl syndrome.

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 ...

Challenges for the implementation of next generation sequencing-based expanded carrier screening: Lessons learned from the ciliopathies [PDF]
Next generation sequencing (NGS) can detect carrier status for rare recessive disorders, informing couples about their reproductive risk. The recent ACMG recommendations support offering NGS-based carrier screening (NGS-CS) in an ethnic and population ...

Medical genetics of ciliopathies
Neither of us had heard about the existence of cilia during biology or genetics courses in high school or university. Nonetheless, these evolutionarily conserved, antenna-shaped organelles of the cell appear to be essential for human development and proper functioning of our organs.

Zfp423 Regulates Sonic Hedgehog Signaling via Primary Cilium Function.
Zfp423 encodes a 30-zinc finger transcription factor that intersects several canonical signaling pathways. Zfp423 mutations result in ciliopathy-related phenotypes, including agenesis of the cerebellar vermis in mice and Joubert syndrome (JBTS19) and ...

The genetic landscape and clinical spectrum of nephronophthisis and related ciliopathies [PDF]
Nephronophthisis (NPH) is an autosomal-recessive ciliopathy representing one of the most frequent causes of kidney failure in childhood characterized by a broad clinical and genetic heterogeneity.

Characterizing the morbid genome of ciliopathies [PDF]
Background Ciliopathies are clinically diverse disorders of the primary cilium. Remarkable progress has been made in understanding the molecular basis of these genetically heterogeneous conditions; however, our knowledge of their morbid genome ...
