Whereas the direct activation of mTOR has been shown recently in autosomal-dominant PKD, no data are available on the role of mTOR signalling in proliferation and progression of ARPKD.
We recently reported that centrosomal protein 164 (CEP164) regulates both cilia and the DNA damage response in the autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease nephronophthisis.
We previously identified Cys1 as the gene responsible for disease in Cys1(cpk) mice, a mouse model of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease; this gene encodes cystin, a 145-amino acid cilium-associated protein.
We also found enrichment on a genome-wide basis of heterozygous mutations in the autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease gene PKHD1, indicating that adult PKHD1 carriers can present with clinical PCLD.

Together, these data provide what is, to our knowledge, the first conclusive evidence that ARPKD is not a homogeneous disorder and further establish DZIP1L as a second gene involved in ARPKD pathogenesis.
