Figure 2. Dysfunctions in motile and/or non-motile cilia cause ciliopathies that encompass most human organ systems.
The figure shows the different organ systems or tissues that are affected in diverse ciliopathies, and the principle phenotypic manifestations of the disease in each organ. Ciliopathies that are caused primarily by defects in motile cilia are shown in orange, those that result from defects in non-motile (primary) cilia are shown in blue and those associated with defects in both types of cilia are shown in green. NPHP, nephronophthisis; PKD, polycystic kidney disease.
