Friedhelm Hildebrandt and colleagues combine homozygosity mapping with candidate exome capture and high-throughput sequencing to identify SDCCAG8 mutations as the cause of a retinal-renal ciliopathy. They further show that SDCCAG8 localizes to centrioles and that its depletion causes renal cysts and cell polarity defects.
