Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common and severe renal disease. Mutations of PKD1 and PKD2 genes are responsible for approximately 85% and 15% of ADPKD cases, respectively. In the present study, PKD1 and PKD2 genes were analyzed in a large Chinese family with ADPKD using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography and DNA sequencing. A novel mutation, c.3623-3624insGTGT in exon 15...
