Functional analysis of PKHD1 splicing in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is caused by mutations in the PKHD1 (polycystic kidney and hepatic disease 1) gene on chromosome 6p12. The longest continuous open reading frame comprises 66 exons encoding a novel 4,074 aa multidomain integral membrane protein (polyductin/fibrocystin) of unknown function.

Biliary and Pancreatic Dysgenesis in Mice Harboring a Mutation in Pkhd1 [PDF]
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is a hereditary fibrocystic disease that involves the kidneys and the biliary tract. Mutations in the PKHD1 gene are responsible for typical forms of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. We have generated a mouse model with targeted mutation of Pkhd1 by disrupting exon 4, resulting in a mutant ...

Mapping Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Coronary Artery Disease: A Comprehensive Analysis of Multivariable Mendelian Randomization and Shared Genetic Etiology. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aims We employed a robust genetic approach to provide a better understanding of whether Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) contributes to coronary artery disease (CAD) risk from a genetic perspective. Methods Multivariable Mendelian Randomization (MVMR) was applied to explore causal links between GERD and CAD using genetic instruments ...

Predominant Liver Cystic Disease in a New Heterozygotic PKHD1 Variant: A Case Report
BACKGROUND The polycystic kidney and hepatic disease 1 (PKHD1) gene codes for fibrocystin-polyductin, a protein that takes part in cell-signaling for cell differentiation, especially in kidney tubules and bile ducts. A homozygous or compound heterozygous defect in this gene can cause autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).

Intragenic motifs regulate the transcriptional complexity of Pkhd1/PKHD1 [PDF]
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) results from mutations in the human PKHD1 gene. Both this gene, and its mouse ortholog, Pkhd1, are primarily expressed in renal and biliary ductal structures. The mouse protein product, fibrocystin/polyductin complex (FPC), is a 445-kDa protein encoded by a 67-exon transcript that spans >500 kb of ...

AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is an inherited ciliopathy caused by mutations in the PKHD1 gene, which encodes the membrane protein fibrocystin/polyductin.

Germline PKHD1 mutations are protective against colorectal cancer [PDF]
The autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) gene, PKHD1, has been implicated in the genesis or growth of colorectal adenocarcinoma, as a high level of somatic mutations was found in colorectal tumor tissue. To determine whether carriers of a single PKHD1 mutation are at increased risk of colorectal carcinoma, we assessed the prevalence of
