Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is largely due to mutations in PKD1. PKD1 has an unusual genomic structure, including a 2.5-kb polypyrimidine sequence in intron 21, which has been postulated to lead to a high rate of spontaneous genomic mutation events. In addition, the majority of the gene is duplicated three to six times at 97-99% identity elsewhere in the genome. To identify genomic mutations in...
