Abstract excerpt
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a common inherited disease that is characterized by a progressive development of renal cysts. Approximately 85% of PKD cases are due to mutations in the polycystin 1 (PKD1) gene. Here, we report a pedigree containing nine patients with autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD). Using targeted exome sequencing of PKD1 and PKD2 genes, we identified a novel heterozygous frameshift mutation...
