Abstract

We present a fetus with bilaterally enlarged and echogenic kidneys. Prenatal testing detected compound heterozygosity for a 0.676 Mb de novo deletion and an inherited pathogenic variant in PKHD1. This is the first case of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) with a prenatally detected disease‐causing PKHD1 deletion.
