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.

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 ...

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.

Case Report: An atypical case of ARPKD highlights the utility and challenges of implementing genetic testing in cystic kidney disease [PDF]
BackgroundBiallelic pathogenic variants in PKHD1 cause a highly heterogenous disease, predominantly involving the kidneys and liver. Although the correlation between genotype and phenotype remains unclear, many variants in this gene have been described ...
