Abstract excerpt

Although the genetics of ADPKD are well known and have led to the discovery of polycystins, a new protein family, the pathogenesis of the disease remains largely unknown. Recent studies have indicated that the beta-catenin signaling pathway is one of the targets of the transduction pathway controlled by the...
