Abstract excerpt
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. In addition to the many PKD-causative loci mapped in mouse and human, a number of reports indicate that modifier loci greatly influence the course of disease progression. Recently we reported a new mouse mutation, kat2J, on chromosome (Chr) 8 that causes late-onset PKD and anemia. During the mapping studies it was noted that the severity of...
