Update on autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Abstract excerpt

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most prevalent, potentially lethal monogenic disorder. Over the past two decades, its study has yielded remarkable progress. The mutated genes have been identified by positional cloning, the function of a novel class of conserved proteins encoded by these genes has been partially elucidated, and a neglected organelle, the primary cilium, has become the...
