Comment on list classification: As there is one patient and functional evidence reported, IFT57 should be rated amber with the current evidence.

PMID:40273360 reported a 29-year-old male of Irish descent presenting with rod-cone degeneration leading to legal blindness, post-axial polydactyly, obesity, cognitive impairment, and fatty liver, features suggestive of a clinical diagnosis of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome. He was identified with biallelic variants in IFT57 gene (Val397Glu/Lys225Asnfs*17).

Patient-derived fibroblasts had fewer primary cilia, abnormal ciliary morphology and abnormal anterograde transport in the primary cilia. IFT57 knockout mouse models or RPE cell lines did not form primary cilia. Rescue of IFT57 knockout primary cilia with IFT57-WT restored cilia formation while IFT57-Val397Glu only partially rescued cilia formation in Ift57-KO-mouse cells.
