Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common human single-gene disorders, and is the most common inherited form of cystic kidney disease. It is estimated that approximately 85% of ADPKD is due to mutations in the PKD1 gene, which is located on chromosome 16p13.3. Mutation analysis in this gene is difficult, because more than two-thirds of reiterated several times at 16p13.1. In...
