PKHD1 is the only gene that is found to be responsible for the disease presentation of ARPKD. (wikipedia.org)
ARPKD occurs in roughly one in 20,000 live births and is caused by an alteration in the gene PKHD1 which is passed on to a child through recessive inheritance by both parents. (businessweekly.co.uk)

Symptoms4
However, some people with ARPKD do not develop signs or symptoms until later in childhood or even adulthood. (nih.gov)
In the case of ARPKD, there are no proven treatments to slow the progression of the disease but there are treatments to address other symptoms of the condition. (businessweekly.co.uk)
Specifically, we have determined that Epithelial Sodium Channels (ENaCs), which are expressed in the collecting ducts and represent the rate-limiting step of sodium reabsorption in this nephron segment, are involved into the process of cystogenesis in the ARPKD setting. (elsevierpure.com)
Diagnosis2
Ultrasonography (US) is the most useful imaging modality with which to diagnose ARPKD, but further information is often necessary to confirm the diagnosis (eg, family history, US examination of the parents, clinical examination, and genetic analysis). (medscape.com)
