A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).

Disease characteristics

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease – PKHD1 (ARPKD-PKHD1) is characterized by primary involvement of the kidneys and liver with mostly secondary effects seen in other organ systems. Of the three ages of initial presentation of kidney disease, the two most common are perinatal (i.e., prenatal/neonatal) and infantile (four weeks to age one year) with the classic finding of enlarged kidneys. The major difference between the perinatal and infantile presentations, which typically have similar kidney and liver findings, is the frequent occurrence of pulmonary involvement in the perinatal presentation, which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. The less common initial presentation in childhood (after age one year) to young adulthood can be associated with predominant hepatobiliary manifestations characterized by the clinical consequences of developmental anomalies of biliary ductal plate remodeling (also known as Caroli disease). Although the short-term and long-term mortality rates of ARPKD remain significant, the survival of individuals with ARPKD has improved with modern neonatal respiratory support, kidney replacement therapy (KRT) including dialysis and kidney transplantation (KTx), and liver transplantation (LTx) or combined liver and kidney transplantation (CLKTx). [from GeneReviews]

Additional description

From MedlinePlus Genetics
Frequent complications of polycystic kidney disease include dangerously high blood pressure (hypertension), pain in the back or sides, blood in the urine (hematuria), recurrent urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and heart valve abnormalities. Additionally, people with polycystic kidney disease have an increased risk of an abnormal bulging (an aneurysm) in a large blood vessel called the aorta or in blood vessels at the base of the brain. Aneurysms can be life-threatening if they tear or rupture.

The two major forms of polycystic kidney disease are distinguished by the usual age of onset and the pattern in which it is passed through families. The autosomal dominant form (sometimes called ADPKD) has signs and symptoms that typically begin in adulthood, although cysts in the kidney are often present from birth or childhood. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease can be further divided into type 1 and type 2, depending on the genetic cause. The autosomal recessive form of polycystic kidney disease (sometimes called ARPKD) is much rarer and is often lethal early in life. The signs and symptoms of this condition are usually apparent at birth or in early infancy.

Polycystic kidney disease is a disorder that affects the kidneys and other organs. Clusters of fluid-filled sacs, called cysts, develop in the kidneys and interfere with their ability to filter waste products from the blood. The growth of cysts causes the kidneys to become enlarged and can lead to kidney failure. Cysts may also develop in other organs, particularly the liver.  https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/polycystic-kidney-disease
