TALPID3 in Joubert syndrome and related ciliopathy disorders
1Developmental Biology, The Roslin Institute and R(D)SVS, University of Edinburgh, Easter Bush Campus, Midlothian, EH25 9PS, UK.
Abstract:
TALPID3 (KIAA0586) is a centrosomal protein which has specific functions during centriole maturation during the formation of the centrosomal-dependent organelle, the cilia, as well as less well understood roles in the cytoskeleton and during cell polarisation. Cilia are an essential component of signal transduction during embryonic development and the loss of TALPID3 function in humans can cause both severe lethal and mild cilia-related developmental disorders known as 'ciliopathies' the most common being Joubert syndrome. TALPID3 related ciliopathies affect the development of multiple organ systems including the brain, skeleton, eyes, lungs and liver. The consequences of TALPID3 dysfunction outside of the cilia and the implications for human diseases are less well understood.

01:27Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.

01:27Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
01:29Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
