Cystic kidney disorders are one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease. Numerous experimental animal models have been used to understand the disease pathogenesis. Recent advancements in this field have provided a surprising finding: that many of the proteins associated with cystic kidney disease localize to a nearly forgotten organelle, the primary cilium.
