13. Homo- and heterodimeric interactions between the gene products of PKD1 and PKD2
PKD1 and PKD2 are two recently identified genes that are responsible for the vast majority of autosomal polycystic kidney disease, a common inherited disease that causes progressive renal failure. PKD1 encodes polycystin, a large glycoprotein that contains several extracellular motifs indicative of a role in cell–cell or cell–matrix interactions, and the

14. Two step procedure for early diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease with polymorphic DNA markers on both sides of the gene.
Polymorphic DNA markers can now be used for presymptomatic and prenatal diagnosis of the autosomal dominant form of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). A detailed map is known for the chromosomal region around the PKD1 gene on the short arm of chromosome 16. We present here a simple, two step procedure for diagnosis of PKD1 by family studies. Using this approac

15. Loss of the polycystic kidney disease (PKD1) region of chromosome 16p13 in renal cyst cells supports a loss-of-function model for cyst pathogenesis.
It is not known whether mutations in the PKD1 gene cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) by an activating (gain-of-function) or an inactivating (loss-of-function) model. We analyzed DNA from cyst epithelial cells for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the PKD1 region of chromosome 16p13 using microsatellite markers. 29 cysts from four patient

16. Haplotype analysis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
Haplotype analysis was performed in 35 autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) families typed with 13 markers close to the PKD1 locus. The identification of recombinants close to the PKD1 gene on chromosome 16p indicates that PKD1 lies between CMM65 distally and 26-6 proximally. In addition, three unlinked (PKD2) families and two families with p

17. Mutation Analysis of the Entire PKD1 Gene: Genetic and Diagnostic Implications
Mutation screening of the major autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) locus, PKD1, has proved difficult because of the large transcript and complex reiterated gene region. We have developed methods, employing long polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and specific reverse transcription–PCR, to amplify all of the PKD1 coding area. The gene was scre

18. Family History of Renal Disease Severity Predicts the Mutated Gene in ADPKD
Mutations of PKD1 and PKD2 account for 85 and 15% of cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), respectively. Clinically, PKD1 is more severe than PKD2, with a median age at ESRD of 53.4 versus 72.7 yr. In this study, we explored whether a family history of renal disease severity predicts the mutated gene in ADPKD. We examined the renal f

19. Cellular Activation Triggered by the Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Gene Product PKD2
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by germ line mutations in at least three ADPKD genes. Two recently isolated ADPKD genes, PKD1 and PKD2, encode integral membrane proteins of unknown function. We found that PKD2 upregulated AP-1-dependent transcription in human embryonic kidney 293T cells. The PKD2-mediated AP-1 activity was depe

20. Polycystin 1 is required for the structural integrity of blood vessels
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), often caused by mutations in the PKD1 gene, is associated with life-threatening vascular abnormalities that are commonly attributed to the frequent occurrence of hypertension. A previously reported targeted mutation of the mouse homologue of PKD1 was not associated with vascular fragility, leading to the

21. Bilineal Disease and Trans-Heterozygotes in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
In searching for a putative third gene for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), we studied the genetic inheritance of a large family (NFL10) previously excluded from linkage to both the PKD1 locus and the PKD2 locus. We screened 48 members of the NFL10 pedigree, by ultrasonography, and genotyped them, with informative markers, at both the PK

22. Specific association of the gene product of PKD2 with the TRPC1 channel
The function(s) of the genes (PKD1 and PKD2) responsible for the majority of cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is unknown. While PKD1 encodes a large integral membrane protein containing several structural motifs found in known proteins involved in cell–cell or cell–matrix interactions, PKD2 has homology to PKD1 and the major subunit

23. Cosmid walking and chromosome jumping in the region of PKD1 reveal a locus duplication and three CpG islands.
The locus responsible for the most common form of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD1) is located on chromosome 16p13.3. Genetic mapping studies indicate that PKD1 is flanked on the proximal side by the DNA marker 26.6 (D16S125). Here we show that 26.6 has undergone a locus duplication and that the two loci are less than 150kb apart. One of th

24. Genetic heterogeneity of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in Argentina.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder with genetic heterogeneity. Up to three loci are involved in this disease, PKD1 on chromosome 16p13.3, PKD2 on 4q21, and a third locus of unknown location. Here we report the existence of locus heterogeneity for this disease in the Argentinian population by performing linkage analy
