Prenatal diagnosis of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD): Molecular genetics, clinical experience, and fetal morphology
5 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is one of the most common hereditary renal cystic diseases and has a high infant mortality. Prenatal diagnosis using fetal sonography can be unreliable, especially in early pregnancy. The ARPKD locus has been mapped to proximal chromosome 6p allowing haplotype-based prenatal diagnosis in "at-risk" families. From December 1994 to March 1997, we received 258...
