A novel missense mutation in the proprotein convertase gene <i>furinb</i> causes hepatic cystogenesis during liver development in zebrafish
2022-02-26
Abstract excerpt
Hepatic cysts are fluid-filled lesions in the liver that are estimated to occur in 5% of the population. They may cause hepatomegaly and abdominal pain. Progression to secondary fibrosis, cirrhosis, or cholangiocarcinoma can lead to morbidity and mortality.
