Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a major hereditary disorder characterized by the formation of cysts in the kidneys of mammals, including humans and cats. It commonly leads to renal failure and is frequently associated with variants in the PKD1 gene. In cats, a specific PKD1 variant (chr E3:g.42858112 C > A) is a primary target for direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing aimed at identifying PKD...
