Abstract excerpt
Patients with nephronophthisis caused by nephrocystin 3 (NPHP3) variants rapidly progress to end-stage kidney disease. However, existing Nphp3 mouse models fail to fully recapitulate the characteristics of this disease. We generated a renal tubule-specific Nphp3 knockout mouse model that more accurately mirrors the human disease course. The mouse model was first validated by confirming the loss of Nphp3 protein...
