Abstract excerpt
Presymptomatic diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease 1 (PKD1) is possible by genetic linkage analysis with markers from both sides of the disease locus. The existing proximal markers are not informative in many families, so such analysis is difficult and time-consuming. We sought more useful length polymorphisms on the proximal side of the locus among simple sequence repeats (microsatellites). We identified two...
