Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a widespread genetic disease that causes renal failure. One of the genes that is responsible for this disease, PKD1, has been identified and characterized. Many mutations of the PKD1 gene have been identified in the Caucasian population. We investigated the occurrence of mutations in this gene in the Japanese population. We analyzed each exon in the 3'...
