Genetic and Kidney Cyst Diseases

This cluster of papers focuses on ciliopathies, a group of genetic disorders involving defects in primary cilia structure and function. It covers a range of topics including polycystic kidney disease, intraflagellar transport, hedgehog signaling, Bardet–Biedl syndrome, nephronophthisis, and the role of ciliary proteins. The research aims to understand the genetic mechanisms and signaling pathways underlying these disorders.
