Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionbbs-2 encodes a ciliary protein that is orthologous to human BBS2; bbs-2 is expressed exclusively in ciliated sensory neurons at the transition zone and along the axoneme; BBS proteins are required for ciliary structure and function; BBS-2 along with other BBS proteins undergoes intraflagellar transport (IFT); loss of function mutations in the guanylate cyclase complex GCY-35/GCY-36 results in a full or partial suppression of the non-ciliary phenotypes of BBS mutants like body size, developmental delay, and roaming defects suggesting a non-cell autonomous role for sensory cilia and BBS proteins in regulating cGMP signaling.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00012869

Automated_descriptionInvolved in non-motile cilium assembly. Located in ciliary basal body and neuron projection. Expressed in ciliated neurons and sensory neurons. Used to study Bardet-Biedl syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2; obesity; and retinitis pigmentosa 74. Is an ortholog of human BBS2 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceMutations in the human BBS2 gene are implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2; Bardet-Biedl syndrome phenotypes include retinal degeneration, obesity, renal malformations, polydactyly and learning disabilities; studies in the worm have contributed extensively to the finding that cystic kidney diseases can be considered ciliopathies; most of the known BBS proteins in human and elegans encode basal body or cilia proteins involved in ciliary structure and function including intraflagellar transport (IFT); studies in elegans indicate that transcription of BBS proteins is regulated by a RFX-transcription factor and that BBS proteins may also regulate GCY-35/GCY-36 cGMP signaling which can affect BBS mutant gene phenotypes.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00040314

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
