Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutation of one of two genes: PKD1 (16p13.3) or PKD2 (4q13-23). PKD1 accounts for approximately 85% of pedigrees and is associated with significantly more severe cystic disease. The ADPKD genes encode proteins, polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, which are very different in size and structure, but which have a region of homology and may interact as part...
