The University of Alabama at Birmingham Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease Core Center (UAB RPKDCC) has established a NIDDK-funded, interdisciplinary center of excellence in PKD-related research, with specific emphasis on recessive PKD. Among the five Cores, the UAB RPKDCC includes the ARPKD Clinical and Genetic Resource, a Core resource designed to develop a unique set of clinical, genetic, and educational resources for ARPKD. The Core has three primary objectives:

Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Cohort, Retrospective |
Official Title: | The ARPKD Clinical and Genetic Resource (UAB Recessive PKD Research and Translational Core Center) |
Blood-derived DNA and lymphocytes for EBV-immortalized cell lines.
Estimated Enrollment: | 200 |
Study Start Date: | November 2005 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | November 2010 |
The Study protocol and the Informed Consent for the Clinical Database will be posted on the website (http://www.arpkdstudies.uab.edu/) for review by potential participants and follow-up discussions with the PI and/or Research Nurse Coordinator. In addition, materials in paper format can be sent to interested potential participants upon request. Two key elements will be required for patient enrollment: 1) certification that informed consent has been obtained, and 2) certification that permission for release of selected health information has also been obtained, including the date of signature. Once receipt of these items is confirmed, the following actions will proceed:
Ages Eligible for Study: | up to 35 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
In view of the genetics and demographics of ARPKD in North America, we estimate that 50% of the subjects will be female; that 90% of the subjects will be Caucasian and the remainder will belong to the following racial/ethnic categories: 5% African-Americans; 3% Hispanics; 1% Asians; and 1% or less will be other categories.
Inclusion Criteria:
Sonographic evidence of diffusely enlarged, echogenic kidneys and at least one additional criteria:
