Molecular Cytogenetic Aberrations in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Tissue
1 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by focal cyst formation from any part of the nephron. The molecular bases include germinal mutation of either PKD1 or PKD2 genes, enhanced expression of several protooncogenes, alteration of the TGF-alpha/EGF/EGF receptor (EGFR) axis, and disturbed regulation of proliferative/apoptosis pathways. To identify...
