BACKGROUND: Genetic diagnosis of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is challenging due to the length and allelic heterogeneity of the PKHD1 gene. Mutations appear to be clustered at specific exons, depending on the geographic origin of the patient. We aimed to identify the PKHD1 exons most likely mutated in Spanish ARPKD patients. METHODS: Mutation analysis was performed in 50 ARPKD probands...
