Epidemiology and outcomes of pediatric autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease in the Middle East and North Africa [PDF]
The incidence of rare diseases is expected to be comparatively higher in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region than in other parts of the world, attributed to the high prevalence of consanguinity.

Genetics of anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract with congenital heart disease: A review
Anomalies of the kidney and heart are the most commonly recognized congenital defects and constitute a major cause of morbidity in children. For example, STRING protein‐protein interaction network for the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1‐beta (HNF1B) gene with first‐tier functional interactions involving detection of glucose and exocrine pancreas ...

Polycystic Kidney Disease: An Examination and Review of Disease Type, Presentation, Treatment, and Prognosis [PDF]
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a ciliopathy that primarily presents as renal cysts. Inherited as either a dominant (ADPKD) or recessive (ARPKD) mutation, PKD is one of the most commonly inherited kidney diseases. ADPKD is caused by the inheritance of

This study sheds new light on the heterogeneous roles of macrophages in the complex and cumbersome pathological process of AKI to CKD. Integrating high‐throughput spatial and single‐cell transcriptomic data, the study identifies distinct macrophage lineages, with renal resident macrophages promoting repair and monocyte‐derived ECM remodeling ...

Gastric cancer detection based on cell‐free DNA in blood: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Abstract Objective Screening and early diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC) are crucial for improved prognosis. However, gastroscopic screening is not feasible in large populations due to its high cost and invasive nature. The detection of circulating cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) provides an attractive minimally‐invasive alternative for screening of GC.

New rat model that phenotypically resembles autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
Numerous murine models of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) have been described. While mouse models are particularly well suited for investigating the molecular pathogenesis of PKD, rats are well established as an experimental
