Although the precise functional relationship between the Ccrk-Mak/Ick pathway and IFT-A/cytoplasmic dynein-2 remains unclear, mutations in the genes encoding IFT-A and cytoplasmic dynein-2, and ICK are associated with a shared human ciliopathy, short rib-polydactyly syndrome (93). The gene discussed is CILK1; the disease is ciliopathy.
