Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is the rare and usually early-onset form of polycystic kidney disease with a typical clinical presentation of enlarged cystic kidneys and liver involvement with congenital hepatic fibrosis or Caroli syndrome. ARPKD remains a clinical challenge in pediatrics, frequently requiring continuous and long-term multidisciplinary treatment. In this review, we aim to give an overview over clinical aspects of ARPKD and recent developments in our understanding of disease progression, risk patterns, and treatment of ARPKD.

Renal ciliopathies are a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by cystic and dysplastic kidneys. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between genetic changes that cause renal ciliopathies and phenotypic outcomes. The study group consisted of 137 patients diagnosed with renal ciliopathy disease.

Aim Of The Study: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic and multisystemic disorder that affects between 1/6'000 and 1/10'000 of newborns. Clinical criteria and/or genetic analysis establish the diagnosis. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors everolimus or sirolimus reduce the severity of several TSC-related clinical traits.

H-DNA is an intramolecular DNA triplex formed by homopurine/homopyrimidine mirror repeats. Since its discovery, the field has advanced from characterizing the structure to discovering its existence and role . H-DNA interacts with cellular machinery in unique ways, stalling DNA and RNA polymerases and causing genome instability.

Background: Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) caused by -causing pathogenic variants (ADTKD-) is a rare group of heritable diseases. ADTKD- often manifests in childhood with symptoms such as mild hypotension, chronic kidney disease, hyperkalemia, anemia, and acidosis. The diagnosis of ADTKD- remains challenging.
