abstract：:Research of cilia has gained significant momentum in the last 15 years, as an increasing number of human genetic diseases were found to be caused by disruption of a protein that localizes to cilia. These ciliopathies are as diverse as the functions of the associated proteins, covering a spectrum of overlapping phenoty...
