Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetically heterogeneous disease. Most families show positive linkage to polymorphic markers around the PKD1 (16p13.3) or PKD2 (4q21-23) loci. The PKD1 and PKD2 genes have been cloned and mutations defined in a number of patients. Several clinical studies have described a milder phenotype for PKD2 patients. More recently, evidence for a third genetic...
