Novel Mutation in the PKHD1 Gene Diagnosed Prenatally in a Fetus with Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
We report a 29-year-old gravida 2, para 0100, who presented at 19 weeks and 4 days of gestation for ultrasound to assess fetal anatomy. Routine midtrimester fetal anatomy ultrasound revealed enlarged, hyperechoic fetal kidneys and normal amniotic fluid ...

Minigene-based splice assays provide new insights on intronic variants of the PKHD1 gene [PDF]
Background Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (ARPKD) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by variants in PKHD1. Currently, aberrant splicing has been reported to play important roles in genetic disease.

Transcription factor Ap2b regulates the mouse autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease genes, Pkhd1 and Cys1 [PDF]
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 ...

Identification of Two Novel Mutations in PKHD1 Gene from Two Families with Polycystic Kidney Disease by Whole Exome Sequencing. [PDF]
Background: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from mutations in the PKHD1 gene on chromosome 6 (6p12), a large gene spanning 470 kb of genomic DNA. Objective: The aim of the present study was to report newly identified mutations in the PKHD1 gene in two Iranian families with PKD.

Clinical features of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease in the Japanese population and analysis of splicing in PKHD1 gene for determination of phenotypes. [PDF]
Abstract Background Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is caused by mutations in the PKHD1 gene. The clinical spectrum is often more variable than previously considered.

Distribution and classifications of PKHD1 gene variants in a Turkish population using the next generation sequencing method. [PDF]
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is an inherited kidney disease. This study aims to detect rare and common DNA variants of the PKHD1 gene using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and to classify them in terms of being pathogenic according to The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics.NGS analysis was performed on the DNA of 304 ...

The PKHD1 gene inhibits tumor proliferation and invasion in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma by activating the Notch pathway. [PDF]
Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), one type of highly malignant tumor, has a poor prognosis. However, the specific role of the polycystic kidney and hepatic disease 1 (PKHD1) gene in ICC has not yet been evaluated. This study aimed to investigate the potential function and mechanism of the PKHD1 gene in ICC.

Compound heterozygosity of a de novo submicroscopic deletion and an inherited frameshift pathogenic variant in the PKHD1 gene in a fetus with bilaterally enlarged and echogenic kidneys, enlarged abdomen and oligohydramnios. [PDF]
AbstractWe present a fetus with bilaterally enlarged and echogenic kidneys. Prenatal testing detected compound heterozygosity for a 0.676 Mb de novo deletion and an inherited pathogenic variant in PKHD1. This is the first case of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) with a prenatally detected disease‐causing PKHD1 deletion.
