Renal–hepatic–pancreatic dysplasia is an autosomal recessive congenital disorder characterized by pancreatic fibrosis, renal dysplasia and hepatic dysgenesis. It is usually fatal soon after birth.[citation needed]

An association with NPHP3 has been described.[1] It was characterized in 1959.[2][3]
