Association of a novel PKHD1 mutation in a family with autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease [PDF]
Autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD) is characterized by multiple cysts in the liver without (or only occasional) renal cysts. At least seven genes are associated with high risk for developing ADPLD; however, clear genetic involvement is undetermined in more than 50% of ADPLD patients.To identify additional ADPLD-associated genes, we ...

Transcription factor Ap2b (TFAP2B), an AP-2 family transcription factor, binds to the palindromic consensus DNA sequence, 5′-GCCN3-5GGC-3’. Mice lacking functional Tfap2b gene die in the perinatal or neonatal period with cystic dilatation of the kidney ...

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.

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).

The genetic interactions of PKHD1 and ATMIN in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) [PDF]
A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Wolverhampton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.The main gene associated with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD) is PKHD1 which encodes a ciliary ...

Truncating PKHD1 and PKD2 mutations alter energy metabolism [PDF]
Deficiency in polycystin 1 triggers specific changes in energy metabolism. To determine whether defects in other human cystoproteins have similar effects, we studied extracellular acidification and glucose metabolism in human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cell lines with polycystic kidney and hepatic disease 1 ( PKHD1) and polycystic kidney disease (PKD)

Spectrum of Mutations in the Gene for Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD/PKHD1) [PDF]
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD/PKHD1) is an important cause of renal-related and liver-related morbidity and mortality in childhood. Recently mutations in the PKHD1 gene on chromosome 6p21.1-p12 have been identified as the molecular cause of ARPKD.

Use of patient derived urine renal epithelial cells to confirm pathogenicity of PKHD1 alleles
Background PKHD1 is the main genetic cause of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), a hereditary hepato-renal fibrocystic disorder which is the most important cause of end-stage renal disease during early childhood.
