MOLECULAR STUDY OF PKD1 & PKD2 GENES BY LINKAGE ANALYSIS AND DETERMINING THE GENOTYPE/PHENOTYPE CORRELATIONS IN SEVERAL IRANIAN FAMILIES WITH AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE
ABSTRACT Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder with genetic heterogeneity. Up to three loci are involved in this disease, PKDI on chromosome 16p13.3, PKD2 on 4q21, and a third locus of unknown location. Methods: Here we report the first molecular genetic study of ADPKD and the existence oflocus heterogeneity for ADPKD in the Iranian populatio...
متن کاملPKD2 mutations in a Czech population with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is genetically heterogeneous and caused by mutations in at least three different loci. Based on linkage analysis, mutations in the PKD2 gene are responsible for approximately 15% of the cases. PKD2-linked ADPKD is supposed to be a milder form of the disease, its mean age of end-stage renal failure (ESRF) approximately 20 years late...
متن کاملPKD2 mutation in an Iranian autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease family with misleading linkage analysis data☆
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic renal disorder caused by mutation in 2 genes PKD1 and PKD2. Thus far, no mutation is identified in approximately 10% of ADPKD families, which can suggest further locus heterogeneity. Owing to the complexity of direct mutation detection, linkage analysis can initially identify the responsible gene in appro...
متن کاملSeven novel mutations of the PKD2 gene in families with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is genetically heterogeneous, with at least three chromosomal loci accounting for the disease. Mutations in the PKD2 gene on the long arm of chromosome 4 are expected to be responsible for approximately 15% of cases of ADPKD. METHODS We report a systematic screening for mutations covering the 15 exons of the PKD2 gene in eight un...
متن کاملDeciphering Variability of PKD1 and PKD2 in an Italian Cohort of 643 Patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease. We analysed PKD1 and PKD2, in a large cohort of 440 unrelated Italian patients with ADPKD and 203 relatives by direct sequencing and MLPA. Molecular and detailed phenotypic data have been collected and submitted to the PKD1/PKD2 LOVD database. This is the first large retrospective study in Italian...
