Nonetheless, our data also suggest that Rfx2 also plays essential roles in ciliogenesis that are independent of FoxJ1 or Mcidas, as many IFT genes and several ciliopathy-associated genes (cep164, rpgripl1 and cc2d2a) are under the sole control of Rfx2 (Figure 8, left). This evidence concerns the gene FOXJ1 and ciliopathy.
