Skeletal Ciliopathies

How the Galapagos cormorant lost its ability to fly. Changes to the genes that shortened the Galapagos cormorant's wings are the same genes that go awry in a group of human bone disorders characterized by stunted arms and legs, suggests new research. The findings shed light on the genetic mechanisms underlying the evolution of limb size and could eventually lead to new treatments for people with skeletal ciliopathies. Source 8b.

I was hoping for more on skeletal ciliopathies needs to be emphasized ASAP to understand skeletal ciliopathies thoroughly and seperate fact from fiction.
