Primary ciliary disorders
Gene: NEK10Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zerin Hyder. NEK10 is associated with a relevant phenotype in OMIM. There is enough evidence to support a gene-disease association and so this gene has been added as Green - sufficient number of unrelated cases (>3) and functional support.Created: 25 Aug 2021, 11:19 a.m. | Last Modified: 25 Aug 2021, 11:19 a.m.

In 9 patients from 5 unrelated consanguineous or likely consanguineous families with primary ciliary dyskinesia, Chivikula et al identified homozygous mutations in the NEK10 gene, which segregated with the disorder in all families and was confirmed by linkage analysis in 3 families. Analysis of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) derived from 1 patient showed almost absent NEK10 protein expression, hypoplastic or shorter cilia, and reduced overall ciliary motion compared to controls, suggesting a loss-of-function effect. Detailed functional studies of these cells showed almost absent mucociliary transport, although cilia radial ultrastructure and beat frequency were normal. All individuals had previously unexplained bronchiectasis with CF excluded and no extrapulmonary features or situs inversus.
