- Human ciliopathy phenotype:
- heterotaxy, visceral, 5, autosomal; visceral heterotaxy
Ciliopathy associations
- Visceral Heterotaxy / Situs Inversus
Subcellular localization
cilia associated gene
Functional category
- Ciliary assembly/disassembly
- Actin & cytoskeleton regulation
- Cell migration & adhesion
- Signaling (Hedgehog, GPCRs, ion channels)
- Transcription regulation
Function
Mutations in the NODAL gene cause Visceral Heterotaxy (PMID: 19064609).

Mus musculus (3 references)
Cfap298 is a highly conserved gene required for ciliary motility and dynein arm assembly, with known roles in left-right (LR) patterning in zebrafish and links to human ciliopathies.
