Nine doublet microtubule pairs make up the core of each cilium, known as the axoneme. Cilia are classified as motile or immotile; non motile or primary cilia are involved in sensing the extracellular environment. These organelles mediate perception of chemo-, mechano- and osmosensations that are then transmitted into the cell via signaling pathways. They also play a crucial role in cellular functions including planar cell polarity, cell division, proliferation and apoptosis. Because of cilia are located on almost all polarized human cell types, cilia-related disorders, can affect many organs and systems. The ciliopathies comprise a group of genetically heterogeneous clinical entities due to the molecular complexity of the ciliary axoneme.

Both sequencing and deletion/duplication (CNV) analysis will be performed on the coding regions of all genes included (unless otherwise marked). All analysis is performed utilizing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. CNV analysis is designed to detect the majority of deletions and duplications of three exons or greater in size. Smaller CNV events may also be detected and reported, but additional follow-up testing is recommended if a smaller CNV is suspected. All variants are classified according to ACMG guidelines. Condition Description Diseases associated with this panel include microphtalmia, anophthalmia, coloboma, progressive external ophthalmoplegia, optic nerve atrophy, retinal dystrophies, retinitis pigementosa, macular degeneration, flecked-retinal disorders, Usher syndrome, albinsm, Aloprt syndrome, Bardet Biedl syndrome, pulmonary fibrosis, and Hermansky-Pudlak

Barr, PhD And approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2015 © 2015 Simon Warburton-Pitt ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The ciliopathy gene nphp-2 functions in multiple gene networks and regulates ciliogenesis in C. elegans By SIMON ROBERT FREDERICK WARBURTON-PITT Dissertation Director: Maureen Barr Cilia are hair-like organelles that function as cellular antennae. Cilia are conserved across eukaryotes, and play a vital role in many biological processes including signal transduction, signal cascades, cell-cell signaling, cell orientation, cell-cell adhesion, motility, interorganismal communication, building extracellular matrix, and inducing fluid flow. In humans, cilia are present in a majority of tissue types, and cilia dysfunction can lead to a range of syndromic ciliopathies, including nephronopthisis (NPHP) and Meckel Syndrome (MKS). Cilia have a microtubule backbone, the axoneme, and are composed of multiple subcompartments, each with a specific function and composition: the transition zone (TZ) anchoring to the axoneme to the membrane, the doublet region extending from the TZ, and in some cilia types, the singlet region extending from the doublet region. The nematode C. elegans is a well-established model of cilia biology, and possesses cilia at the distal end of sensory dendrites.

Atropine % was used for cycloplegia. 11 83% of the children had bilateral hypermetropia of +2O00 or more D. 13-23 % of them had + 1 50 or more D astigmatism in one or both eyes, and 6 5 % had anisometropia. Anisometropia was significantly (P=0-000 001 %) associated with bilateral hypermetropia, but even more significantly (P=0000000 4%) associated with astigmatism of +1 50 or more D in one or both eyes.
