Abstract excerpt
Mutations in PKHD1 cause autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). We produced a mouse model of ARPKD by replacing exons 1-3 of Pkhd1 with a lacZ reporter gene utilizing homologous recombination. This approach yielded heterozygous Pkhd1 (lacZ/+) mice, that expressed beta-galactosidase in tissues where Pkhd1 is normally expressed, and homozygous Pkhd1 (lacZ/lacZ) knockout mice. Heterozygous Pkhd1...
