Abstract excerpt
Consistent with the gene dosage effect hypothesis, renal cysts can arise in transgenic murine models overexpressing either PKD1 or PKD2, which are causal genes for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). To determine whether PKD gene overexpression is a universal mechanism driving cystogenesis or is merely restricted to rodents, other animal models are required. Previously, we failed to observe any...
