RNA-mediated knockdown of HEATR2 in airway epithelial cells from unaffected donors. human airway epithelial cells showed that HEATR2 was localized to the cytoplasm and not in cilia, which suggests a role in either dynein both individuals and model organisms and shows that exome sequencing in family studies facilitates the discovery of novel diseasecausing gene mutations. have been identified through sequencing of human homologs of genes discovered by screening for ciliary dysfunction in model organisms, including Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
