Background Autosomal recessive renal polycystic kidney disease occurs in 1 in 20,000 live births. It is caused by mutations in both alleles of the PKHD1 gene.

Elucidating the genetic architecture of cystic kidney disease using whole genome sequencing [PDF]
Cystic kidney disease (CyKD) is the commonest life-threatening monogenic disorder, causing great morbidity and mortality. Whilst there is believed to be a strongly monogenic architecture, an unbiased whole genome sequencing approach to understanding the ...

Background Meat quality related phenotypes are difficult and expensive to measure and predict but are ideal candidates for genomic selection if genetic markers that account for a worthwhile proportion of the phenotypic variation can be identified.

Defects of renal tubular homeostasis and cystogenesis in the Pkhd1 knockout
Summary: Loss of PKHD1-gene function causes autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) characterized by bilateral severely enlarged kidneys and congenital liver fibrosis requiring kidney replacement therapy most frequently during childhood ...

Characterizing the nuclear import and functions of cystin, the ciliary protein disrupted in the cpk mouse model of recessive polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD; MIM 263200) is a ma-jor cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality. Typically, orthologous animal models are the mainstay for pathogenic studies of human diseases.

piRNA pathway targets active LINE1 elements to establish the repressive H3K9me3 mark in germ cells [PDF]
Transposable elements (TEs) occupy a large fraction of metazoan genomes and pose a constant threat to genomic integrity. This threat is particularly critical in germ cells, as changes in the genome that are induced by TEs will be transmitted to the next ...
