Rapidly Progressive Kidney Failure With Transient Non-Cystic Kidney Enlargement: A Case Report Highlighting Delayed Medullary Cyst Formation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hereditary tubulointerstitial kidney diseases typically manifest as slowly progressive chronic kidney disease. Rapidly progressive kidney failure with non‐cystic nephromegaly is an exceptionally rare presentation posing significant diagnostic challenges.

Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is an autosomal recessive cystic kidney disease and the most frequent genetic cause of end-stage renal disease up to the third decade of life. It is caused by mutations in 11 different genes, denoted nephrocystins (NPHP1-11, NPHP1L).

Mutations of CEP83 cause infantile nephronophthisis and intellectual disability [PDF]
Ciliopathies are a group of hereditary disorders associated with defects in cilia structure and function. The distal appendages (DAPs) of centrioles are involved in the docking and anchoring of the mother centriole to the cellular membrane during ...

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

Broadening horizons: Pathogenesis and therapeutics of renal ciliopathies. [PDF]
This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms and aberrant signaling pathways in renal ciliopathies, links genetic heterogeneity to clinical phenotypes, and lays a theoretical basis for prenatal diagnosis and novel therapies. Abstract Renal ciliopathies encompass a spectrum of genetic disorders arising from structural or functional impairments of ...

A novel mutation causing nephronophthisis in the Lewis polycystic kidney rat localises to a conserved RCC1 domain in Nek8 [PDF]
Background Nephronophthisis (NPHP) as a cause of cystic kidney disease is the most common genetic cause of progressive renal failure in children and young adults.

Renal Ciliopathies: Sorting Out Therapeutic Approaches for Nephronophthisis
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 ...

A case of Non-compaction of Left Ventricle Coexistent with Juvenile Nephronophthisis. Is this Another Presentation of Ciliopathy? [PDF]
Nephronophthisis is a chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis which can progress to end-stage renal disease. Juvenile nephronophthisis is the most common type of nephronophthisis, which accounts for 5-10% of the cases of pediatric end stage renal diseases.
