Deletion of ARPKD-associated Pkhd1 gene in mice results in decreased Tfap2b expression and eye abnormalities [PDF]
Genome-wide association studies report single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PKHD1-TFAP2B genomic interval are associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) but do not distinguish the causal gene.

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.

A Rare PKHD1 Frameshift Variant Identified in a Prenatally Diagnosed ARPKD Case From a Consanguineous Jordanian Family. [PDF]
Introduction Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a condition that encompasses the development of multiple benign cysts in the kidneys and other organs. Hereditary PKD can be classified as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) or autosomal recessive polycystic disease (ARPKD).

Deciphering the Impact of RAC1-SPTAN1 in ARPKD Cystogenesis Using Multifaceted Models. [PDF]
Distal/connecting tubules expressing SLC8A1 have been suggested as a potential origin of ARPKD cysts. SPTAN1 has been identified as a key molecule in ARPKD cyst formation. Restoring SPTAN1 in PKHD1−/− organoids reduced cyst formation, normalized calcium levels, and decreased RAC1/c‐FOS expression, highlighting SPTAN1's role in ARPKD and the potential ...

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 ...
