BBS10

BBS10 is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein involved in the development and repair of cilia—tiny, hair-like structures on cells that help move fluids and signals across cell surfaces. Mutations in BBS10 can disrupt cilia function, which is critical for the development of various organs. Changes in this gene are linked to Bardet-Biedl syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by features like vision problems, obesity, kidney issues, and limb abnormalities. Essentially, BBS10 plays a crucial role in maintaining normal cellular functions related to cilia, influencing overall health and development.
