MKS1 Gene
The MKS1 gene encodes a protein that is localized to the basal body (kinetosome) and is required for formation of the primary cilium in ciliated epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive disorders such as Meckel syndrome type 1 and in Bardet-Biedl syndrome type 13.
