C8ORF37 (Chromosome 8 Open Reading Frame 37): C8ORF37 is a gene linked to retinal dystrophies and Bardet-Biedl syndrome — a condition marked by vision loss, obesity, and other symptoms. It plays a key role in maintaining photoreceptor cells and supporting cilia-related processes. Mutations in this gene can cause retinal degeneration and disrupt normal ciliary function.
