Gene therapy for pediatric genetic kidney diseases

open access: yesPediatric Discovery, 2023
Genetic kidney disease is the main cause of chronic kidney disease in children. While the pathogenic genes associated with most genetic kidney diseases have been identified, the underlying mechanisms of disease initiation remain ambiguous, and effective ...

Beyond polycystic kidney disease [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ Case Reports, 2017
Tuberous sclerosis(TS) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations inTSC1andTSC2genes.TSC2gene is located in chromosome 16p13.3, adjacent toPKD1gene, responsible for the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. In a rare subgroup of patients, the presence of a deletion which simultaneously affects theTSC2andPKD1genes has been confirmed ...

Cystic Kidney Diseases That Require a Differential Diagnosis from Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary cystic kidney disease, with patients often having a positive family history that is characterized by a similar phenotype. However, in atypical cases, particularly those in

Venous Thromboembolism in Kidney Diseases and Genetic Predisposition

open access: yesKidney Diseases, 2022
Background: Many renal diseases have been associated with profound clinical effects on thrombosis. To our knowledge, patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) display an elevated risk of vein thrombosis, which is among the ...

Cystic Kidney Diseases From the Adult Nephrologist’s Point of View

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
Cystic kidney diseases affect patients of all age groups with the onset spanning from prenatal disease to late adulthood. Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is by far the most common renal cystic disease.
