Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Mutation-based molecular diagnostics of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is complicated by locus and allelic heterogeneity, large multi-exon gene structure and duplication in PKD1, and a high level of unclassified variants. Comprehensive screening of PKD1 and PKD2 by two recent studies have shown that atypical splice mutations account for 3.5% to 5% of ADPKD. We...
