Phenotypes

Mouse phenotype:

decreased locomotor activity, increased total body fat amount, abnormal iris morphology, decreased heart weight, decreased vertical activity, decreased exploration in new environment, increased mean platelet volume, shortened qt interval, impaired pupillary reflex, decreased lean body mass, increased circulating hdl cholesterol level, shortened pr interval, increased fasting circulating glucose level, abnormal bone structure, abnormal cholesterol homeostasis, decreased red blood cell distribution width, decreased bone mineral content, increased circulating alkaline phosphatase level

Mouse ciliopathy phenotype:

abnormal lens morphology, abnormal reti blood vessel morphology, shortened qrs complex duration, short tibia, abnormal reti vasculature morphology, cataract

Human ciliopathy phenotype:

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 38

Subcellular localization

cilia associated gene

Functional category

• Ciliary assembly/disassembly

Function

Mutations in the ELOVL5 gene cause Spinocerebellar Ataxia (PMID: 25065913).
