Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n FAM166B is a gene whose function remains largely uncharacterized, but emerging evidence from omics‐based studies implicates it in distinct pathological contexts. In one study of multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL), FAM166B was identified among several upregulated genes in affected adipose tissue, suggesting that altered expression of FAM166B may be associated with abnormal adipose deposition and metabolic dysregulation (1). In a separate large-scale analysis of ciliopathies, FAM166B was proposed as one of nine novel candidate genes based on genomic screening of affected families. This finding raises the possibility that FAM166B might contribute to mechanisms underlying ciliary structure or function, although its precise role in the biology of the primary cilium—and its impact on disease phenotypes—remains to be elucidated (2). Collectively, these studies provide initial clues that FAM166B may be important both in the regulation of adipose tissue homeostasis and in ciliary biology, warranting further investigations to define its molecular function and potential involvement in disease.\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n Citations:."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Ke Chen, Linghao Wang, Wenjun Yang, et al.
