Abstract excerpt
TMEM67 (mecklin or MKS3) locates in the transition zone of cilia. Dysfunction of TMEM67 disrupts cilia-related signaling and leads to developmental defects of multiple organs in humans. Typical autosomal recessive TMEM67 defects cause partial overlapping phenotypes, including abnormalities in the brain, eyes, liver, kidneys, bones, and so forth. However, emerging reports of isolated nephronophthisis suggest the...
