Chronic Hypobaric Hypoxia Modulates Primary Cilia Differently in Adult and Fetal Ovine Kidneys
Hypoxic environments at high altitude have significant effects on kidney injury. Following injury, renal primary cilia display length alterations. Primary cilia are mechanosensory organelles that regulate tubular architecture.

Primary cilia defects causing mitral valve prolapse
Genetic variations in primary cilia genes cause defects during valve morphogenesis that can progress to mitral valve prolapse in the adult. DZIPping along to diagnosis Mitral valve prolapse is a common congenital abnormality that can cause severe ...

Primary cilia and their role in cancer
Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles that are expressed on almost all mammalian cells. It has become apparent that these structures are important signaling hubs that serve crucial roles in Wnt, hedgehog, extracellular signal-regulated kinase ...

The primary cilium, which protrudes from the cell surface, is associated with the pathogenesis of various diseases, including acute kidney injury (AKI). Primary cilium length dynamically changes during the progression of diseases.

Uromodulin is expressed in renal primary cilia and UMOD mutations result in decreased ciliary uromodulin expression [PDF]
Uromodulin (UMOD) mutations are responsible for three autosomal dominant tubulo-interstitial nephropathies including medullary cystic kidney disease type 2 (MCKD2), familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy and glomerulocystic kidney disease.
