Type IV choledochal cyst with polycystic kidney disease: a case report
Background Choledochal cysts are divided into 5 types. Physicians believe that Caroli disease (which refers to type V biliary cysts) is a special type of biliary cyst caused by a mutation in the PKHD1 gene and is associated with autosomal recessive ...

Kidney Disease Progression in Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
To define glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline, hypertension (HTN), and proteinuria in subjects with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and compare with 2 congenital kidney disease control groups in the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children cohort.GFR decline (iohexol clearance), rates of HTN (ambulatory/casual blood pressures ...

Distinct roles of transcription factors EGL-46 and DAF-19 in specifying the functionality of a polycystin-expressing sensory neuron necessary for C. elegans male vulva location behavior [PDF]
Caenorhabditis elegans polycystins LOV-1 and PKD-2 are expressed in the male-specific HOB neuron, and are necessary for sensation of the hermaphrodite vulva during mating. We demonstrate that male vulva location behavior and expression of lov-1 and pkd-2

Polycystic kidney disease: Clues to pathogenesis [PDF]
Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), largely neglected for several decades, has emerged in recent years as the renal disease most likely to be understood from the gene to the patient.

Delayed diagnosis of Townes‑Brocks syndrome with multicystic kidneys and renal failure caused by a novel SALL1 nonsense mutation: A case report [PDF]
Townes‑Brocks syndrome (TBS) is a rare autosomal dominant congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by the triad of anorectal, hand and external ear malformations. Kidney involvement is less common and may progress to end‑stage renal failure (ESRF) early

Transcriptional Complexity in Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is caused by mutations in the PKHD1 gene. The longest open reading frame comprises 66 exons encoding polyductin or fibrocystin, a type I transmembrane protein with 4074 amino acids. Functional investigations are considerably hampered by its large size and lack of expression in tissues that are ...

Exploring the Spectrum of Kidney Ciliopathies
Ciliopathies are a group of multi-organ diseases caused by the disruption of the primary cilium. This event leads to a variety of kidney disorders, including nephronophthisis, renal cystic dysplasia, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
