Sequence variety of HNF1B gene in autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease
 Kavec, Miriam ; Štekrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Schierová, Michaela (referee)
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare severe inherited disease manifested by cystic renal disease, congenital hepatic fibrosis and dilatatation of bile ducts. The spectrum of clinical manifestations is very wide and variable, depends on the age at which the disease was manifested. In severe forms of the disease, it is possible to detect the first symptoms prenatally around the 20th week of pregnancy due to increased echogenic kidneys and the presence of oligohydramnios. The causal gene of this disease is thePKHD1 gene with protein product fibrocystin that is most likely contributing on maintaining the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ cations. The exact phatophysiology mechanism of ARPKD remains unknown. Phenotypic manifestations of this disease may overlap with mutations associated with other genes. One of the genes mimicking the ARPKD phenotype is the HNF1B gene. Mutations associated with HNF1B gene are the most common monogenic cause of developmental kidney abnormalities. HNF1B is a tissue-specific transcription factor that regulates the expression of PKHD1. In experimental part I worked on genetic analysis of the HNF1B gene in 28 patients who have not been confirmed ARPKD diagnosis by detection of 2 PKHD1 mutations. For the purposes of mutational screening, I used...
