A Compound Heterozygous Mutation in the Ciliary Gene TTC21B Causes Nephronophthisis Type 12
Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is one of the renal ciliopathies and is also a cystic renal disorder with an autosomal recessive inheritance, which usually progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It affects children, adolescents, and young adults.

TTC21B: From Modifier to Causative Gene in Joubert Syndrome.
Biallelic pathogenic variants in TTC21B, encoding the retrograde intraflagellar transport protein IFT139, are a known cause of renal and skeletal ciliopathies.

Gpr63 is a novel modifier of microcephaly in Ttc21b mouse mutants [PDF]
The primary cilium is a critical signaling center for proper embryonic development. Previous studies have demonstrated that mice lacking Ttc21b have impaired retrograde trafficking within the cilium and multiple organogenesis phenotypes, including ...

IFT139 regulates Hedgehog signaling and cilia structure through ciliary protein localization [PDF]
The primary cilium, a microtubule-based membrane protrusion, is essential for eukaryotic development and health. Import and export of proteins in and out of the primary cilium relies on intraflagellar transport protein complexes (IFT) IFT-B and IFT-A, in

Ttc21b is required to restrict sonic hedgehog activity in the developing mouse forebrain
Organizing centers in the developing brain provide an assortment of instructive patterning cues, including Sonic hedgehog (Shh). Here we characterize the forebrain phenotype caused by loss of Ttc21b, a gene we identified in an ENU mutagenesis screen as a

Objective: We present the perinatal imaging findings and molecular genetic analysis in a fetus with short-rib polydactyly syndrome (SRPS) type III or short-rib thoracic dysplasia 3 with or without polydactyly (SRTD3).

Introduction: Familial chronic cholestases associated with renal involvement are rare and may reveal a genetic disease such as a ciliopathy. The TTC21B gene, involved in intraflagellar transport, is mainly associated with tubulointerstitial and ...

Dysfunction of intraflagellar transport-A causes hyperphagia-induced obesity and metabolic syndrome
Primary cilia extend from the plasma membrane of most vertebrate cells and mediate signaling pathways. Ciliary dysfunction underlies ciliopathies, which are genetic syndromes that manifest multiple clinical features, including renal cystic disease and ...
