The Sanger sequencing of patients with recessive polycystic kidney disease is challenging due to the length and heterogeneous mutational spectrum of the PKHD1 gene. Next generation sequencing (NGS) might thus be of special interest to search for PKHD1 mutations. The study involved a total of 22 patients with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and 8 parents of non-available ARPKD patients. Five...
