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 ...

Prenatal Recurrence of Ductal Plate Malformations Leads to PKHD1 Variant Reclassification. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Ductal plate malformations (DPM) encompass a spectrum of congenital liver disorders characterized by abnormal bile duct development, often associated with conditions such as Caroli disease. Variants in the PKHD1 gene cause a wide spectrum of DPM, but genotype–phenotype correlations remain challenging.

Effect of crocin on PKHD1 and KLLN genes expression in kidney tissue of female rats treated with cadmium [PDF]
According to data from studies, antioxidant herbal compounds are, likely to have a useful role in reducing the harmful effects of environmental pollutants and toxic chemicals that most people are exposed to. Cadmium is one of the toxic elements that accumulate in many organs, especially in kidneys. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of

Identification and Characterization of Pkhd1, the Mouse Orthologue of the Human ARPKD Gene [PDF]
PKHD1, the gene mutated in human autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease has recently been identified. Its translation products are predicted to belong to a superfamily of proteins involved in the regulation of cellular adhesion and repulsion. One notable aspect of the gene is its unusually complex pattern of splicing. This study shows that mouse

Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis in a Purebred Spanish Horse Foal: Pathology and Genetic Studies on PKHD1 Gene Mutations [PDF]
A 1-month-old Purebred Spanish Horse (PSH) foal presented with progressive hepatic failure culminating in death. Hepatic lesions were consistent with congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF). Genetic studies in the PKHD1 gene in the affected foal revealed that it was heterozygous for the 2 previously described single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to ...

Role of the Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor-1β (HNF-1β) C-terminal Domain in Pkhd1 (ARPKD) Gene Transcription and Renal Cystogenesis [PDF]
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta (HNF-1beta) is a homeodomain-containing transcription factor that regulates tissue-specific gene expression in the kidney and other epithelial organs. Mutations of HNF-1beta produce congenital cystic abnormalities of the kidney, and previous studies showed that HNF-1beta regulates the expression of the autosomal ...
