Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common genetic disorder that frequently results in renal failure due to progressive cyst development. The major locus, PKD1, maps to 16p13.3. We identified a chromosome translocation associated with ADPKD that disrupts a gene (PBP) encoding a 14 kb transcript in the PKD1 candidate region. Further mutations of the PBP gene were found in PKD1 patients, two...
