Abstract excerpt
Disruption of PKD2 function causes polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and leads to the formation of cysts in the kidney in both mice and humans. PKD is progressive, initiating with the formation of tubule dilations that expand into large cysts, causing the destruction of renal parenchyma and loss of kidney function. The mechanisms initiating tubule dilation and expansion are uncertain. Tubule obstruction has been...
