Background Senior–Løken syndrome (SLS) and Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) are ciliopathies. SLS is characterized by retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and familial nephronophthisis, leading to end-stage kidney disease, while BBS is characterized by six major ...

Uromodulin storage diseases: clinical aspects and mechanisms. [PDF]
The recent discovery of mutations in the uromodulin gene (UMOD) in patients with medullary cystic kidney disease type 2 (MCKD2), familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy (FJHN), and glomerulocystic kidney disease (GCKD) provides the opportunity for a ...

To assess the relevance of exome sequencing as a first‐tier diagnostic tool, three aspects were investigated: detection of copy number variants (CNVs) from exomes as compared to chromosomal microarray, clinically‐relevant CNVs across all sizes, and additional diagnostic utilities (uniparental disomy and triploidy).

Stem cells and fluid flow drive cyst formation in an invertebrate excretory organ.
Cystic kidney diseases (CKDs) affect millions of people worldwide. The defining pathological features are fluid-filled cysts developing from nephric tubules due to defective flow sensing, cell proliferation and differentiation.

INF2‐Related Charcot–Marie–Tooth Disease in a Japanese Cohort: Genetic and Clinical Insights
ABSTRACT Background INF2 mutations cause focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT). Accurate genetic diagnosis is critical, as INF2‐related FSGS is typically resistant to immunotherapy yet rarely recurs after transplantation, and its associated neuropathy can mimic treatable immune‐mediated disorders such as ...

Many Genes—One Disease? Genetics of Nephronophthisis (NPHP) and NPHP-Associated Disorders
Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is a renal ciliopathy and an autosomal recessive cause of cystic kidney disease, renal fibrosis, and end-stage renal failure, affecting children and young adults.

Phosphorylation at the Helm: Kinase‐Mediated Regulation of Primary Cilia Assembly and Disassembly
ABSTRACT The primary cilium serves as an antenna of most vertebrate cells and is important for conveying cues from several signaling pathways into appropriate cellular responses during development and homeostasis. Cilia assembly and disassembly processes are thought to be strictly controlled; however, the precise nature of molecular events underlying ...

The KOUNCIL Consortium: From Genetic Defects to Therapeutic Development for Nephronophthisis
Nephronophthisis (NPH) is the most common monogenic cause of renal failure in children. Treatment options are limited to dialysis and transplantation. Therapeutics to significantly delay or prevent end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in children are currently

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 ...
