BBS10 : Bardet-Biedl syndrome 10
Description
The BBS10 gene, plays a crucial role in the formation and function of cilia, tiny hair-like structures found on the surface of many cells. These cilia are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including sensory perception, cell signaling, and fluid transport. Mutations in the BBS10 gene can disrupt these processes, leading to a group of inherited disorders known as Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS).
