RSPH1 and RSPH9, here highlighted, are known to be components of the RS head in human respiratory cilia
Selection A- Gene with same function implicated in disease
ExperimentName: Aprea et al. 2023
GOterm: GO:0001535 (radial spoke head)
FunctionalEvidence: Taken together, our results indicate that the ruler proteins CCDC39 and CCDC40, the radial spoke head proteins RSPH1 and RSPH9 as well as the central pair associated apparatus proteins SPEF2 and HYDIN have a similar functional role in motile cilia and sperm flagella, as hypothesized in Figure 1.
HGNC: HGNC:12371
GeneEvidence: PMID: 24518672 documents how RSPH1 and RSPH9, which encode homologs of components of the ‘head’ structure of ciliary radial spoke complexes identified in Chlamydomonas, cause clinical phenotypes that appear to be indistinguishable except at the gene level. They both also have a relationship with PCD.
SharedGeneImplication: The gene-disease relationship between RSPH1 and PCD has been established and published in multiple papers. See Motile Ciliopathy GCEP curations of RSPH1 for more information.
