Abstract excerpt
Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common monogenetic diseases in humans. The discovery that mutations in the PKD1 and PKD2 genes are responsible for ADPKD has sparked extensive research efforts into the physiological and pathogenetic role of polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, the proteins encoded by these two genes. While polycystin-1 may mediate the contact among cells or...
