RPGRIP1L
MIM.610937 16q12.2
RPGRIP1L colocalizes at the basal body and centrosomes with the protein products of both NPHP6 and NPHP4, known genes associated with MKS, CORS and nephronophthisis (a related renal disorder and ciliopathy).
Pathology
germline mutations of RPGRIP1L in Joubert syndrome type B (cerebello-oculo-renal syndrome or CORS syndrome)
- RPGRIP1L missense mutations found in CORS individuals diminishes the interaction between RPGRIP1L and nephrocystin-4.
- Mutations in RPGRIP1L can cause the multiorgan phenotypic abnormalities found in CORS or MKS, which therefore represent a continuum of the same underlying disorder.
