Using Paramecium as a Model for Ciliopathies [PDF]
Paramecium has served as a model organism for the studies of many aspects of genetics and cell biology: non-Mendelian inheritance, genome duplication, genome rearrangements, and exocytosis, to name a few. However, the large number and patterning of cilia that cover its surface have inspired extraordinary ultrastructural work.

WDR11-mediated Hedgehog signalling defects underlie a new ciliopathy related to Kallmann syndrome [PDF]
WDR11 has been implicated in congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) and Kallmann syndrome (KS), human developmental genetic disorders defined by delayed puberty and infertility. However, WDR11's role in development is poorly understood.

Ciliopathies A reference for clinicians [PDF]
This is a multi-author book encompassing 14 chapters on diseases associated with defects in proteins expressed in the primary cilia, a structure long regarded as a useless vestigial organelle. The first chapter covers our current knowledge of the structure and biology of the motile and non-motile (primary) cilia and proposes a clinical diagnosis ...

Ciliogenesis and the DNA damage response: A stressful relationship [PDF]
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 ...

A Longitudinal Case Study of Renal Cyst Progression and Regression in Trisomy 13. [PDF]
Multiple T2‐weighted high‐signal‐intensity structures were observed in both kidneys accompanied by bilateral renal enlargement in a male neonate with trisomy 13. ABSTRACT Trisomy 13 is a chromosomal disorder frequently associated with congenital anomalies, including polycystic kidney disease (PKD).

Abnormal photoreceptor outer segment development and early retinal degeneration in kif3a mutant zebrafish [PDF]
Photoreceptors are highly specialized sensory neurons that possess a modified primary cilium called the outer segment. Photoreceptor outer segment formation and maintenance require highly active protein transport via a process known as intraflagellar ...

Analysis of cilia dysfunction phenotypes in zebrafish embryos depleted of origin recognition complex factors [PDF]
Meier–Gorlin syndrome (MGS) is a rare, congenital primordial microcephalic dwarfism disorder. MGS is caused by genetic variants of components of the origin recognition complex (ORC) consisting of ORC1–6 and the pre-replication complex, which together ...
