Overview of Gene Research
CFAP300, also known as C11orf70, is a gene encoding a protein that plays a crucial role in the assembly of ciliary dynein arms [2,8]. Motile cilia, hair-like organelles, rely on these dynein arms for their proper function. The malfunction of motile cilia due to CFAP300-related issues can lead to primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a rare genetic condition [1,2,3,4,5,6,7].
Mutations in CFAP300 have been identified in patients with PCD from various populations, such as Finland, Slavic, Chinese, Russian, and Cypriot populations [1,2,3,6,7]. These mutations, like c.198_200delinsCC, c.466G>T, and c.95_103delGCCGGCTCC, result in a lack of the protein product or abnormal localization of dynein arm markers, leading to immotile airway epithelial cilia and missing dynein arms in ciliary axonemes [1,2,3]. In model organisms like the flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea, gene silencing experiments suggest a conserved role of CFAP300 in ciliary function [2]. In Paramecium, RNAi knockdown of the orthologous gene leads to combined loss of ciliary inner and outer dynein arms, reduced cilia beating, and swim velocity [8].
In conclusion, CFAP300 is essential for the assembly of dynein arms in motile cilia. Studies on CFAP300, including those using gene-silencing in model organisms, have enhanced our understanding of its role in PCD. These findings are valuable for improving the diagnosis of PCD in different populations and for guiding genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families [1,2,9].
