Ciliopathy is differentially distributed in the brain of a Bardet-Biedl syndrome mouse model [PDF]
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetically heterogeneous inherited human disorder displaying a pleotropic phenotype. Many of the symptoms characterized in the human disease have been reproduced in animal models carrying deletions or knock-in mutations ...

Cilia are hair-like organelles that extend from the surface of almost all human cells. Nine doublet microtubule pairs make up the core of each cilium, known as the axoneme. Cilia are classified as motile or immotile; non motile or primary cilia are involved in sensing the extracellular environment. These organelles mediate perception of chemo-, mechano-

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 ...

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 ...

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).

CEP162: A critical regulator of ciliary transition zone assembly and its implications in ciliopathies. [PDF]
Abstract CEP162, a 162‐kDa centrosome protein, is a crucial centrosomal adapter, mediating cell differentiation and polarization. CEP162 maintains mitosis by dynamically stabilizing microtubules. CEP162 promotes the transition zone (TZ) assembly in the basal body through interaction with CEP131, CEP290, and axoneme microtubules as well as the distal ...

Primary cilia are sensory and signaling hubs with a protein composition that is distinct from the rest of the cell due to the barrier function of the transition zone (TZ) at the base of the cilium.

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.
