Abstract excerpt
Sixty-seven Italian patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) were screened for mutations in the 3' unique region of the PKD1 gene, using heteroduplex DNA analysis. Novel aberrant bands were detected in 3 patients from the same family. DNA sequencing showed a C to T transition in exon 44 (C12269T), resulting in a premature stop codon (R4020X), predicted to impair the synthesis of the...
