Abstract excerpt
The gene causing adult polycystic kidney disease (APKD) in most northern European families has been localised to the short arm of chromosome 16, close to the alpha globin gene (PKD1). A DNA probe 3' to the alpha globin locus (3'HVR) has been used to test such families but a second genetic locus (PKD2) was recently proposed when two families from Italy failed to show linkage to that locus. The presence of two or...
