Abstract excerpt
The PKD/Mhm(cy/+) rat is a widely used animal model for the study of human autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, one of the most common genetic disorders, affecting one in 1000 individuals. We identified a new gene, Anks6, which is mutated (Anks6((p.R823W))) in PKD/Mhm(cy/+) rats. The evidence for a causal link between Anks6((p.R823W)) and cystogenesis is still lacking, and the function of Anks6 is...
