Description

PKD1L1 (Polycystin 1 Like 1) is a protein-coding gene that encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. This protein is involved in ciliary function and is essential for the establishment of left-right asymmetry during embryonic development. Mutations in PKD1L1 are associated with heterotaxy and primary ciliary dyskinesia.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Heterotaxy Disruption of left-right body axis determination due to defective ciliary signaling Multiple reports in ClinVar and literature (e.g., Vetrini et al., 2016)
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) Impaired ciliary motility and function leading to respiratory and laterality defects ClinVar pathogenic variants; OMIM #609721

Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Most reported pathogenic variants are loss-of-function (nonsense, frameshift, splice-site), leading to truncated or absent protein.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No gain-of-function mutations reported for PKD1L1.

Dominant Negative (DN)

No dominant-negative mutations reported for PKD1L1.

Gene Ontology (GO)

• ciliary membrane • motile cilium
• left-right axis specification • calcium ion binding
• cell-cell signaling

Pathways

Ciliopathy
Hedgehog signaling
Left-right axis determination

Protein Summary

The PKD1L1 protein is a large transmembrane protein localized to the ciliary membrane. It contains multiple domains including a G-protein-coupled receptor proteolytic site (GPS) and a polycystin-1/lipoxygenase/alpha-toxin (PLAT) domain. It is thought to function as a mechanosensor or receptor in primary cilia, mediating calcium signaling and regulating left-right patterning.
