Abstract

One of the most widespread cellular organelles in nature is cilium, which is found in many unicellular and multicellular organisms. Formerly thought to be a mostly vestigial organelle, the cilium has been discovered in the past several decades to play critical motile and sensory roles involved in normal organogenesis during development. The role of cilia has also been implicated in an ever increasing array of seemingly unrelated human diseases, including blindness, kidney cysts, neural tube defects and obesity. In this article we review some of the recent developments in research on cilia, and how defects in ciliogenesis and function can give rise to developmental disorders and disease.

  • Impaired Shh signaling results in similar phenotypes as those observed in patients with disrupted cilia structure or function.

    “Impaired Shh signaling results in similar phenotypes as those observed in patients with disrupted cilia structure or function [37–42].”

    From Amyloid-β interrupts canonical Sonic hedgehog signaling by distorting primary cilia structure (2018) · cites this paper as [40]

    The Hedgehog section links cilia to Hedgehog signaling and says that this pathway contributes to development of the cerebellar vermis. The Ciliopathies section reports cerebellar vermis hypoplasia in patients with Joubert syndrome, a ciliopathy. These passages support a connection, but do not directly establish that impaired Shh signaling produces phenotypes similar to those observed in patients with disrupted cilia. (LLM, conf=0.78)

  • All ciliopathies share one phenotype, cognitive impairment.

    “All ciliopathies share one phenotype, cognitive impairment [37–42].”

    From Amyloid-β interrupts canonical Sonic hedgehog signaling by distorting primary cilia structure (2018) · cites this paper as [40]

    The CILIOPATHIES section describes mental retardation as a classical feature of Joubert syndrome, which it identifies as a ciliopathy. It describes ciliopathies as a diverse group united by involvement of the cilium, not by cognitive impairment; it does not support the claim that all ciliopathies share that phenotype. No page number is available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
