NCIt definition : Human PKHD1 wild-type allele is located within 6p12.3-p12.2 and is approximately 473
kb in length. This allele, which encodes fibrocystin protein, may play a role in kidney
and biliary development and in receptor signaling. Mutations in this gene are associated
with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (polycystic kidney and hepatic
disease 1; polycystic kidney disease 4).;
