Abstract excerpt
Genetic heterogeneity is the main factor for significant variation in the course of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). PKD1 patients have more severe renal outcomes compared with PKD2 patients. Co-inheritance of a mutation in both genes is associated with more severe phenotypes than that found with either mutation alone. However, the genotype-phenotype relationship is far from clear in ADPKD....
