| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A novel gene involved in the proper formation of vertebrate cilia was identified and characterized. The knockout mouse demonstrated a severe phenotype after birth due to defects in ciliogenesis. Transmission electron microscopy of the affected organs revealed that the integrity of axonemal arrangement and number were lost in the null mutant. Although there is no clinical report related to this gene, SNP analysis suggested the existence of SNPs that would lead to the loss of function of this gene.
