Abstract excerpt
Over the last 5 years, disorders of nonmotile cilia have come of age and their study has contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cell biology and human genetics. This review summarizes the main features of the ciliopathies, their underlying genetics, and the functions of the proteins involved. We describe some of the key findings in the field, including new animal models, the role of ciliopathy proteins...
