A novel mutation of the HNF1B gene associated with hypoplastic glomerulocystic kidney disease and neonatal renal failure: a case report and mutation update.
Immunohistochemistry on GCKD and MCKD/FJHN kidney biopsies revealed dense intracellular accumulation of uromodulin in tubular epithelia of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop.
Mutations in the homeobox gene vHnf1 are associated with human diseases MODY5 (maturity-onset diabetes of the young, type V) and familial GCKD (glomerulocystic kidney disease).
