RPGRIP1L is an evolutionary highly conserved gene encoding a protein that localises at the transition zone of primary cilia. Mutations in RPGRIP1L result in ciliopathies, severe human diseases caused by dysfunctional cilia. Patients with mutations in this gene often suffer from an impaired development of not only one but various organs. To elucidate the function of Rpgrip1l in human development and the mechanisms underlying ciliopathies, different model organisms are used. In this review article, we summarise the findings of these investigations comprising novel functions of Rpgripll and the most promising therapeutic approaches.
