Shortened primary cilium length and dysregulated Sonic hedgehog signaling in Niemann-Pick C1 disease [PDF]
, 2017 The Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) disease is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder due to mutations in the NPC1 gene, encoding a transmembrane protein related to the Sonic hedgehog receptor, Patched, and involved in intracellular trafficking of ...

Bioinformatic analysis of ciliary transition zone proteins reveals insights into the evolution of ciliopathy networks [PDF]
, 2016 This is the final version of the article. Available from the publisher via the DOI in this record.BACKGROUND: Cilia are critical for diverse functions, from motility to signal transduction, and ciliary dysfunction causes inherited diseases termed ...

Mutations in DYNC2LI1 disrupt cilia function and cause short rib polydactyly syndrome. [PDF]
, 2015 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.

Zebrafish Assays of Ciliopathies [PDF]
, 2011 In light of the growing list of human disorders associated with their dysfunction, primary cilia have recently come to attention as being important regulators of developmental signaling pathways and downstream processes. These organelles, present on nearly every vertebrate cell type, are highly conserved structures allowing for study across a range of ...

On the Wrong Track: Alterations of Ciliary Transport in Inherited Retinal Dystrophies
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Ciliopathies are a group of heterogeneous inherited disorders associated with dysfunction of the cilium, a ubiquitous microtubule-based organelle involved in a broad range of cellular functions. Most ciliopathies are syndromic, since several organs whose

Ciliogenesis and the DNA damage response: A stressful relationship [PDF]
, 2016 Both inherited and sporadic mutations can give rise to a plethora of human diseases. Through myriad diverse cellular processes, sporadic mutations can arise through a failure to accurately replicate the genetic code or by inaccurate separation of ...

Ciliary Hedgehog signaling regulates cell survival to build the facial midline
eLife, 2021 Craniofacial defects are among the most common phenotypes caused by ciliopathies, yet the developmental and molecular etiology of these defects is poorly understood.

Truncation of POC1A associated with short stature and extreme insulin resistance [PDF]
, 2015 We describe a female proband with primordial dwarfism, skeletal dysplasia, facial dysmorphism, extreme dyslipidaemic insulin resistance and fatty liver associated with a novel homozygous frameshift mutation in POC1A, predicted to affect two of the three ...

Ciliopathies: The Trafficking Connection [PDF]
Traffic, 2014 The primary cilium (PC) is a very dynamic hair‐like membrane structure that assembles/disassembles in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner and is present in almost every cell type. Despite being continuous with the plasma membrane, a diffusion barrier located at the ciliary base confers the PC properties of a separate organelle with very specific ...
