Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 gene deletions--a common cause of renal disease

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta (HNF-1beta) is a critical transcription factor in pancreatic and renal development. Our previous report identified HNF-1beta mutations in 23/160 patients with unexplained renal disease. The most common phenotype is renal cysts, which is frequently associated with early-onset diabetes in the renal cysts and diabetes (RCAD) syndrome. HNF-1beta gene deletions have recently...
