Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Urinary Bladder Sterols.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1957
Summary1. Urinary bladders of many species were analyzed for cholesterol and “fast-acting” (δ7) sterol. Rodents showed the highest content of (δ7) sterol, the dog an intermediate level, and livestock very little. In rodents and in the dog 60-84% of the δ7-sterol was 7-dehydrocholesterol. All bladder sterol was unesterified. 2. The sterols were found to
