Mechanisms of nephronophthisis and related ciliopathies.

Abstract excerpt

An emerging group of human genetic diseases termed 'ciliopathies' are caused by dysfunction of two functionally and physically associated organelles, the centrosome and cilium. These organelles are central to perception of the physical environment through detection of a diverse variety of extracellular signals such as growth factors, chemicals, light and fluid flow. Many of the described ciliopathies display...
