Abstract

A ciliopathy is a disease in which a hairlike cellular organelle called the cilium is dysfunctional. Most proteins altered in these single-gene disorders function at the level of the cilium–centrosome complex. This review considers the role of the cilium in disease.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • 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 [39]

    The Summary (page unavailable) says ciliopathy phenotypes vary and identifies localization of disease-related proteins at cilia or centrosomes—not cognitive impairment—as a common feature. The Recessive Disorders section describes cognitive impairment in Joubert’s syndrome specifically, while describing autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease by its renal and liver features. (LLM, conf=0.89)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

  • 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 [39]

    The “Hedgehog Signaling” section links ciliary IFT-gene mutations to hedgehog-mutant phenotypes in mice, supporting a connection between ciliary defects and impaired hedgehog signaling. It does not establish that impaired Shh signaling independently produces phenotypes similar to those of patients with disrupted cilia; it describes a possible GLIS2–hedgehog pathway connection as a question for future investigation. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

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.
