Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (PCLD) is characterized by progressive development of multiple (> 20) liver cysts. Two separate genes, PRKCSH and SEC63, have been identified to cause familial PCLD. We designed this study with two goals: to assess the relative contribution of PRKCSH and SEC63 mutations in a cohort of unrelated patients with a variable number of liver cysts, and to assess the effect of...
