Characterization of the SAM domain of the PKD-related protein ANKS6 and its interaction with ANKS3 [PDF]
Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic disorder leading to end-stage renal failure in humans. In the PKD/Mhm(cy/+) rat model of ADPKD, the point mutation R823W in the sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain ...

Genetic Risk Factors in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: What We Know and What Is Next
Abstract Knowledge of the genetic factors in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is rapidly evolving, with significant advances in recent years. We conducted a systematic review examining genetic contributions to NPH risk. Ovid Embase, Ovid Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central were searched from inception through October 14, 2024, for human ...

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 ...

Human asthenozoospermia: Update on genetic causes, patient management, and clinical strategies
Abstract Background In mammals, sperm fertilization potential relies on efficient progression within the female genital tract to reach and fertilize the oocyte. This fundamental property is supported by the flagellum, an evolutionarily conserved organelle, which contains dynein motor proteins that provide the mechanical force for sperm propulsion and ...

Pathogenic variants prevalence patients with diabetic kidney disease in Japan: A descriptive study
Previous studies have identified pathogenic variants in 22% of Caucasian patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD); however, this proportion may vary depending on ethnicity and updates to the database. Whole‐genome sequencing of 79 patients with DKD in Japan revealed that 34.1% had kidney‐related heterozygous pathogenic variants, and 12.7% had ...

Senior–Loken Syndrome: Ocular Perspectives on Genetics, Pathogenesis, and Management
Senior–Loken syndrome (SLSN) is a group of rare autosomal recessive disorders caused by dysfunction of the primary cilium, primarily affecting the kidneys (typically leading to nephronophthisis) and eyes (typically leading to retinal degeneration ...

Caenorhabditis nomenclature [PDF]
Genetic nomenclature allows the genetic features of an organism to be structured and described in a uniform and systematicway. Genetic features, including genes, variations (both natural and induced), and gene products, are assigned descriptorsthat ...

Introduction: Nephronophthisis (NPH) is a renal ciliopathy characterized by chronic tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Despite discovery of multiple disease genes, mechanisms of NPH-associated kidney degeneration remain poorly understood.

A polycystin-centric view of cyst formation and disease: the polycystins revisited [PDF]
It is 20 years since the identification of PKD1, the major gene mutated in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), followed closely by the cloning of PKD2. These major breakthroughs have led in turn to a period of intense investigation into

ABSTRACT Cystic kidney diseases (CyKD) are a diverse group of disorders affecting more than 1 in 1000 individuals. Over 120 genes are implicated, primarily encoding components of the primary cilium, transcription factors, and morphogens. Prognosis varies greatly by molecular diagnosis. Causal variants are not identified in 10%–60% of individuals due to
