ARMC9 and ciliopathy: provided evidence that ARMC9 localizes to the ciliary basal body, which originates from the mother centriole that docks at the cell membrane during interphase to nucleate the ciliary axoneme; ARMC9 is present in ciliated organisms and upregulated in ciliated cells, and zebrafish harboring armc9 mutations display typical ciliopathy phenotypes (Van De Weghe et al., 2017).
