Our phenotype-based screen identified the flavonoid eupatilin and its analogs as lead compounds for developing ciliopathy medication. CEP290, a gene mutated in several ciliopathies, encodes a protein that forms a complex with NPHP5 to support the function of the ciliary transition zone. Editor's evaluation It has long been recognized that ciliary dysfunction leads to increased canonical Wnt signaling but the mechanism has been elusive. Your work connecting β-catenin stability to Mks1 through Ube2e1 is an important advance in understanding this mechanism. I am certain that your work will stimulate more effort in this important As part of a large screening of ciliopathy genes in 260 JS patients, we identified novel pathogenic mutations in two genes not previously implicated in this condition. Two patients carried mutations in the MKS1 gene [GenBank:NG_013032.1], a 44-year-old man with JS and retinal dystrophy (COR340), and a 2-year-old child with a pure JS phenotype The ciliopathy morbid genome. A likely causal variant was identified in 85% (225/265) of the studied families, spanning 54 known genes that have been previously linked to ciliopathy phenotypes (see Additional file 2: Table S3).All affected individuals were confirmed to carry biallelic variants in these genes except for hemizygous mutations in OFD1.Of note, several of these variants had evaded Associate editor: Billie Swalla Abstract Recently, Lee et al.

Tissues and organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells with knocked-out kinesin-2 subunits lack cilia, and can be used to model ciliopathy phenotypes and to reveal underlying mechanisms Accumulation of signaling mediators upon depletion of ciliopathy proteins. We and others have reported previously that perturbation of some ciliopathy proteins alters the stability of Wnt signaling mediators such as β-catenin and Dishevelled (5, 8, 21, 29, 30).
