Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome is a novel ciliopathy.
Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder where patients are predisposed to kidney cancer, lung and kidney cysts and benign skin tumors. BHD is caused by heterozygous mutations affecting folliculin (FLCN), a conserved protein that is considered a tumor suppressor. Previous research has uncovered multiple roles for FLCN in cellular physiology, yet it remains unclear how the...
متن کاملCiliopathy in PCS (MVA) syndrome
The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) is a surveillance mechanism of faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis. Budding uninhibited by benzimidazole-related-1 (BubR1) plays a central role in the SAC through inhibition of anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) activity until all chromosomes have established proper attachment to the mitotic spindle. Loss-of-function mutations in the BU...
متن کاملIdentification of the Meckel Syndrome Gene (MKS1) Exposes a Novel Ciliopathy
Meckel syndrome (MKS, MIM 249000) is an autosomal recessive developmental disorder causing death in utero or shortly after birth. The hallmarks of the disease are cystic kidney dysplasia and fibrotic changes of the liver, occipital encephalocele with or without hydrocephalus and polydactyly. Other anomalies frequently seen in the patients are incomplete development of the male genitalia, club f...
متن کاملCiliopathy Is Differentially Distributed in the Brain of a Bardet-Biedl Syndrome Mouse Model
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetically heterogeneous inherited human disorder displaying a pleotropic phenotype. Many of the symptoms characterized in the human disease have been reproduced in animal models carrying deletions or knock-in mutations of genes causal for the disorder. Thinning of the cerebral cortex, enlargement of the lateral and third ventricles, and structural changes in c...
متن کاملExpanding the phenotype of CRB2 mutations - A new ciliopathy syndrome?
Recessive CRB2 mutations were recently reported to cause both steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome and prenatal onset ventriculomegaly with kidney disease. We report two Ashkenazi Jewish siblings clinically diagnosed with ciliopathy. Both presented with severe congenital hydrocephalus and mild urinary tract anomalies. One affected sibling also has lung hypoplasia and heart defects. Exome sequen...
