Ciliary Genes in Renal Cystic Diseases

open access: yesCells, 2020
Cilia are microtubule-based organelles, protruding from the apical cell surface and anchoring to the cytoskeleton. Primary (nonmotile) cilia of the kidney act as mechanosensors of nephron cells, responding to fluid movements by triggering signal ...

A single heterozygous nonsense mutation in the TTC21B gene causes adult‐onset nephronophthisis 12: A case report and review of literature

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2022
Background Nephronophthisis type 12 (NPHP 12) is a rare cilia‐related cystic kidney disease, caused by TTC21B mutation, mainly involving the kidneys, which generally occurs in children. Our study aimed to illustrate its clinical, pathological and genetic

Mutation analysis of 18 nephronophthisis associated ciliopathy disease genes using a DNA pooling and next generation sequencing strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Nephronophthisis associated ciliopathies (NPHP-AC) comprise a group of autosomal recessive cystic kidney diseases that includes nephronophthisis (NPHP), Senior-Loken syndrome (SLS), Joubert syndrome (JBTS), and Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS).

Defective INPP5E distribution in NPHP1‐related Senior–Loken syndrome

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021
Background Senior–Loken syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that presents with nephronophthisis and retinal degeneration, leading to end‐stage renal disease and progressive blindness.

Cystic Kidney Diseases From the Adult Nephrologist’s Point of View

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
Cystic kidney diseases affect patients of all age groups with the onset spanning from prenatal disease to late adulthood. Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is by far the most common renal cystic disease.

Nephronophthisis-Associated Ciliopathies [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2007
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 ...

Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell line (CMCi015-A) from a patient with nephronophthisis harboring compound heterozygous loss-of-function variants in the

open access: yesStem Cell Research
Nephronophthisis, an autosomal recessive ciliopathy, is a rare genetic kidney disorder characterized by progressive tubulointerstitial fibrosis, corticomedullary cyst formation, and progression to end-stage renal disease.

TTC21B: From Modifier to Causative Gene in Joubert Syndrome

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biallelic pathogenic variants in TTC21B, encoding the retrograde intraflagellar transport protein IFT139, are a known cause of renal and skeletal ciliopathies. Single heterozygous variants in this gene were found to be enriched in a cohort of patients with various ciliopathy phenotypes, including three individuals with Joubert syndrome (JS), a

A genotype-to-phenotype approach suggests under-reporting of single nucleotide variants in nephrocystin-1 (NPHP1) related disease (UK 100,000 Genomes Project)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Autosomal recessive whole gene deletions of nephrocystin-1 (NPHP1) result in abnormal structure and function of the primary cilia. These deletions can result in a tubulointerstitial kidney disease known as nephronophthisis and retinal (Senior–Løken ...

Opsoclonus in Pediatric Patients: Differential Diagnosis and a Practical Approach to Evaluation

open access: yesAnnals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Opsoclonus is an ocular dyskinesia characterized by involuntary, arrhythmic, multidirectional saccades. In pediatrics, opsoclonus is most commonly attributed to the rare neuroinflammatory disorder opsoclonus‐myoclonus‐ataxia syndrome (OMAS), typically considered a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with neural crest tumors. However, opsoclonus
