Function

FUNCTION: Plays a key role in ciliogenesis and embryonic development. Regulator of cilia formation by controlling the organization of the apical actin cytoskeleton and the positioning of the basal bodies at the apical cell surface, which in turn is essential for the normal orientation of elongating ciliary microtubules. Plays a key role in definition of cell polarity via its role in ciliogenesis but not via conversion extension. Has an indirect effect on hedgehog signaling (By similarity). Proposed to function as core component of the CPLANE (ciliogenesis and planar polarity effectors) complex involved in the recruitment of peripheral IFT-A proteins to basal bodies (PubMed:27158779). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q059U7, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2I0E5, ECO:0000305|PubMed:27158779}.;

Disease

DISEASE: Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 20 with polydactyly (SRTD20) [MIM:617925]: A form of short-rib thoracic dysplasia, a group of autosomal recessive ciliopathies that are characterized by a constricted thoracic cage, short ribs, shortened tubular bones, and a 'trident' appearance of the acetabular roof. Polydactyly is variably present. Non-skeletal involvement can include cleft lip/palate as well as anomalies of major organs such as the brain, eye, heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, intestines, and genitalia. Some forms of the disease are lethal in the neonatal period due to respiratory insufficiency secondary to a severely restricted thoracic cage, whereas others are compatible with life. Disease spectrum encompasses Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (Jeune syndrome), Mainzer-Saldino syndrome, and short rib-polydactyly syndrome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27158779}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Orofaciodigital syndrome 17 (OFD17) [MIM:617926]: A form of orofaciodigital syndrome, a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by malformations of the oral cavity, face and digits, and associated phenotypic abnormalities that lead to the delineation of various subtypes. OFD17 inheritance is autosomal recessive. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27158779}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 7/20 with polydactyly, digenic (SRTD7/20) [MIM:614091]: A digenic form of short-rib thoracic dysplasia caused by double heterozygosity for a mutation in the WDR35 gene and a mutation in the INTU gene. Short-rib thoracic dysplasia is part of a group of ciliopathies that are characterized by a constricted thoracic cage, short ribs, shortened tubular bones, and a 'trident' appearance of the acetabular roof. Polydactyly is variably present. Non-skeletal involvement can include cleft lip/palate as well as anomalies of major organs such as the brain, eye, heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, intestines, and genitalia. Some forms of the disease are lethal in the neonatal period due to respiratory insufficiency secondary to a severely restricted thoracic cage, whereas others are compatible with life. Disease spectrum encompasses Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (Jeune syndrome), Mainzer-Saldino syndrome, and short rib-polydactyly syndrome. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting distinct genetic loci, including the gene represented in this entry. SRTD7/20 can be caused by co-occurrence of WDR35 variant p.Trp311Leu and INTU p.Gln276Ter. One such patient has been reported. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27158779}.;
