Abstract excerpt
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), a common inherited disease leading to progressive renal failure, can be caused by a mutation in either the PKD1 or PKD2 gene. Both genes encode for putative transmembrane proteins, polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, which show significant homology to each other and are believed to interact at their carboxy termini. To identify genes that code for related proteins...
