Mutations in human homologue of chicken <i>talpid3</i> gene (<i>KIAA0586</i>) cause a hybrid ciliopathy with overlapping features of Jeune and Joubert syndromes
18 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In chicken, loss of TALPID3 results in non-functional cilia and short-rib polydactyly syndrome. This phenotype is caused by a frameshift mutation in the chicken ortholog of the human KIAA0586 gene, which encodes a novel coiled-coil domain protein essential for primary ciliogenesis, suggesting that KIAA0586 can be associated with ciliopathy in human beings. METHODS: In our patients with ciliopathy...
