Cholangiociliopathies: genetics, molecular mechanisms and potential therapies
1 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The present review summarizes recent knowledge on polycystic liver diseases (PCLDs), mechanisms of hepatic cystogenesis and potential therapies for these conditions. RECENT FINDINGS: PCLD may be classified as cholangiociliopathies. In PCLD associated with polycystic kidney disease, cell proliferation is one of the major mechanisms of cystogenesis, whereas in isolated PCLD (autosomal dominant...
