Mutations in KIF7 link Joubert syndrome with Sonic Hedgehog signaling and microtubule dynamics
1 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Joubert syndrome (JBTS) is characterized by a specific brain malformation with various additional pathologies. It results from mutations in any one of at least 10 different genes, including NPHP1, which encodes nephrocystin-1. JBTS has been linked to dysfunction of primary cilia, since the gene products known to be associated with the disorder localize to this evolutionarily ancient organelle. Here we report the...
