摘 要:PKHD1是目前所知人类常染色体隐性遗传多囊肾病(autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, ARPKD)的惟一致病基因。ARPKD临床病变以双肾多发性进行性充液囊泡为主要特征。目前对PKHDl基因在ARPKD发病中的作用了解并不多。该文对ARPKD的发病机制和PKHD1基因功能最新研究进展进行综述。

Abstract: Abstract: Mutation of the polycystic kidney and hepatic disease gene 1 (PKHD1) was identified as the cause of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), which is characterized typically by massive enlargement of fluid-filled renal cysts. However, the precise mechanisms by which PKHD1 functions on the pathogenesis of ARPKD remain unclear. In this article we will give an overview on the basic information about recent progresses of PKHDl and summarize the possible role of defects of PKHDl on the pathogenesis of ARPKD.
Key words: human autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease(ARPKD); PKHD1; gene defect
