Immunofluorescence analyses of respiratory epithelial cells aid the diagnosis of nephronophthisis. [PDF]
Nephronophthisis (NPH) comprises a heterogeneous group of inherited renal ciliopathies clinically characterized by progressive kidney failure. So far, definite diagnosis is based on molecular testing only.

Novel mutation in XPNPEP3 in a patient with heart failure without nephronophthisis-like nephropathy (NPHPL1): case report and literature review. [PDF]
(XPNPEP3) mutations are known to cause nephronophthisis-like nephropathy-1 (NPHPL1), a rare autosomal-recessive kidney disease characterized by progressive kidney failure and cystic kidney disease in childhood.

Identification of renal cyst cells of type I Nephronophthisis by single-nucleus RNA sequencing
Background: Nephronophthisis (NPH) is the most common genetic cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in childhood, and NPHP1 is the major pathogenic gene.

Ciliary Genes in Renal Cystic Diseases
Cilia are microtubule-based organelles, protruding from the apical cell surface and anchoring to the cytoskeleton. Primary (nonmotile) cilia of the kidney act as mechanosensors of nephron cells, responding to fluid movements by triggering signal ...
