We have a special interest in genetic kidney disorders with a focus on cystic kidney diseases and ciliopathies. We study the cellular biology of cilia and the molecular function of ciliopathy proteins, e.g. the ARPKD protein fibrocystin. We have also recently established an international ARPKD registry study to characterize the clinical courses of ARPKD patients (ARegPKD, www.aregpkd.org) and for pediatric ADPKD (ADPedKD, www.adpedkd.org). ARegPKD and ADPedKD have already gathered the largest collections of clinical data on the corresponding patients worldwide.
