Luan et al. (2020) | 9 | M, birth | c.314C > G | p.S105X | Neonatal jaundice | Resolved Jaundice, 8 months. Hepato-splenomegaly. UGIH | Explanted liver, micronodular cirrhosis, ductular reaction | No | Yes | LT at 5 y 6 m |
In ZFYVE19-knockdown hRPE1 cells, a prominent phenotypical abnormality, was an increase in numbers of basal bodies/centrioles. Separation/abnormal arrangement of the centriole pair(s) was also observed. However, cilium assembly was not affected and extra cilia took shape at extra basal bodies/ centrioles In ZFYVE19-deficient fibroblast-like cells derived from patient iPSCs, similar phenotypes involving abnormalities of ciliary and centriolar numbers but not of cilium assembly were demonstrated In both cells: supernumerary centrioles and cilia when ZFYVE19 was depleted |
