CCDC39 is required for assembly of inner dynein arms and the dynein regulatory complex and for normal ciliary motility in humans and dogs
Michel Georges and colleagues identify a founder mutation in CCDC39 associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia in Old English Sheepdogs. They further show that mutations in human CCDC39 cause a similar phenotype ...

Mutation analysis in Bardet–Biedl syndrome by DNA pooling and massively parallel resequencing in 105 individuals
Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare, primarily autosomal-recessive ciliopathy. The phenotype of this pleiotropic disease includes retinitis pigmentosa, postaxial polydactyly, truncal obesity, learning disabi...

Mutations in TMEM216 perturb ciliogenesis and cause Joubert, Meckel and related syndromes
Joseph Gleeson and colleagues report that mutations in TMEM216 cause Joubert, Meckel and related syndromes. They further show that TMEM216 localizes to the base of cilia and that its loss leads to defects in cili...

A common allele in RPGRIP1L is a modifier of retinal degeneration in ciliopathies
Nicholas Katsanis and colleagues report that a common allele of RPGRIP1L is associated with photoreceptor loss in ciliopathies. An A229T variant in RPGRIP1L compromises binding to RPGR and modifies the retinal de...

Hypomorphic mutations in syndromic encephalocele genes are associated with Bardet-Biedl syndrome
Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) is a genetically heterogeneous, neonatally lethal malformation and the most common form of syndromic neural tube defect (NTD). To date, several MKS-associated genes have been ident...

Correction: Corrigendum: BBS10 encodes a vertebrate-specific chaperonin-like protein and is a major BBS locus
Nat. Genet. 38, 521–524 (2006). The name of author Eduardo D. Silva was misspelled in the original version of this paper. It is listed correctly above.

BBS10 encodes a vertebrate-specific chaperonin-like protein and is a major BBS locus
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetically heterogeneous ciliopathy. Although nine BBS genes have been cloned, they explain only 40–50% of the total mutational load. Here we report a major new BBS locus, BBS10,...
