Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), Type I is a common genetic disorder and an important cause of renal failure. The disease is characterized by progressive cyst formation in a variety of organs including the kidney, liver and pancreas. We have previously shown that in the case of PKD1, renal cyst development is likely to require somatic inactivation of the normal allele coupled to a germline...
