Patient-derived and gene-edited pluripotent stem cells lacking NPHP1 recapitulate juvenile nephronophthisis in abnormalities of primary cilia and renal cyst formation [PDF]
Juvenile nephronophthisis is an inherited renal ciliopathy with cystic kidney disease, renal fibrosis, and end-stage renal failure in children and young adults.

Phenotypic and genotypic analysis of pediatric nephronophthisis patients with different levels of proteinuria [PDF]
While nephronophthisis (NPHP) classically manifests as mild tubular proteinuria, emerging evidence reports nephrotic-range proteinuria with edema. This study aims to explore the phenotypes and genotypes of pediatric NPHP patients with different levels of

Calpain1 inhibition enhances autophagy-lysosomal pathway and ameliorates tubulointerstitial fibrosis in Nephronophthisis [PDF]
Background Nephronophthisis (NPH) is classified under the category of renal ciliopathies and is the most common genetic disease leading to renal failure in children. Early-onset and progressive renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis represents one of the most

Nephronophthisis (NPHP), a recessive cystic kidney disease, is the most frequent genetic cause of end-stage kidney disease in children and young adults. Positional cloning of nine genes (NPHP1 through 9) and functional characterization of their encoded proteins (nephrocystins) have contributed to a unifying theory that defines cystic kidney diseases as

NPHP is the most common monogenic cause of CKD in children or adolescents. Extra-renal symptoms often accompany, therefore examination of retina, hearing, and skeleton is necessary in patients with CKD with insidious onset.

Renal Ciliopathies: Sorting Out Therapeutic Approaches for Nephronophthisis [PDF]
Nephronophthisis (NPH) is an autosomal recessive ciliopathy and a major cause of end-stage renal disease in children. The main forms, juvenile and adult NPH, are characterized by tubulointerstitial fibrosis whereas the infantile form is more severe and ...
