Abstract excerpt
Screening for disease-causing mutations in the unique region of the polycystic kidney disease 1 (PKD1) gene was performed in 41 unrelated individuals with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Exons 34-41 and 43-46 were assayed using PCR amplification and SSCP analysis followed by direct sequencing of amplicons presenting variant SSCP patterns. We have identified seven disease-causing mutations of which...
