Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: modifier genes and endothelial dysfunction.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the development of multiple cysts in both kidneys, causing progressive renal failure. By the age of 60 years, about half the patients with ADPKD have end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In Europe and North America, ADPKD is responsible for 5–10% of the patients requiring renal replacement therapy [1]. ADPKD is also characteriz...
متن کاملModifier effect of ENOS in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
A significant phenotypical variability is observed in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). ADPKD is associated with altered endothelial-dependent vasodilation and decreased vascular production of nitric oxide (NO). Thus, ENOS, the gene coding for the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), could have a modifier effect in ADPKD. In order to test this hypothesis, we genotyped 1...

The lack of reliable data on frequency, age of onset, survival, spontaneous mutation rate and prognosis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is a continual source of frustration to physicians involved in counselling patients and their relatives. The only major study to address all of these issues in a defined population was presented by Dalgaard as a 251-page doctoral thesis in 1957 ...
متن کاملAutosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
recessive forms (1–3), autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) with an incidence of 1 : 500 to 1 : 1000 is one of the commonest hereditary diseases (4). Some 5 million people worldwide are affected. In many countries ADPKD is the fourth most frequent cause of end-stage renal failure. About 85% of these diseases are caused by mutations in the PKD1 gene, the remaining 15% are due to ...
متن کاملAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most prevalent, potentially lethal, monogenic disorder. It is associated with large interfamilial and intrafamilial variability, which can be explained to a large extent by its genetic heterogeneity and modifier genes. An increased understanding of the disorder's underlying genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms and a better appreciation ...
