Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) maps to chromosome 16p13.3 (PKD1) and to chromosome 4q21-23 (PKD2), with the likelihood of a third unmapped locus. The size and genomic complexity of the PKD1 gene make it impractical to detect mutations for prenatal diagnosis. Therefore, pedigree-based linkage analysis remains useful for diagnosis of ADPKD. Since, the complete genome sequences of chromosome...
