Abstract excerpt
Alström syndrome (AS) is a rare monogenic multi-system ciliopathy disorder with cardinal features, including cone-rod dystrophy, sensory neural hearing loss, metabolic dysfunctions and multiple organ failure caused by bi-allelic mutations in a centrosomal basal body protein-coding gene known as ALMS1.
