Identification and localization of polycystin, the PKD1 gene product.
Polycystin, the product of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) 1 gene (PKD1) is the cardinal member of a novel class of proteins. As a first step towards elucidating the function of polycystin and the pathogenesis of ADPKD, three types of information were collected in the current study: the subcellular localization of polycystin, the spatial and temporal distribution of the pro...
متن کاملPolycystin-1, the PKD1 gene product, is in a complex containing E-cadherin and the catenins.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common human genetic disease characterized by cyst formation in kidney tubules and other ductular epithelia. Cells lining the cysts have abnormalities in cell proliferation and cell polarity. The majority of ADPKD cases are caused by mutations in the PKD1 gene, which codes for polycystin-1, a large integral membrane protein of unknown fu...
متن کاملDNA structural transitions within the PKD1 gene
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects over 500 000 Americans. Eighty-five percent of these patients have mutations in the PKD1 gene. The focal nature of cyst formation has recently been attributed to innate instability in the PKD1 gene. Intron 21 of this gene contains the largest polypurine. polypyrimidine tract (2.5 kb) identified to date in the human genome. Polypurine....
متن کاملGene conversion is a likely cause of mutation in PKD1.
Approximately 70% of the gene responsible for the most common form of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease ( PKD1 ) is replicated in several highly homologous copies located more proximally on chromosome 16. We recently have described a novel technique for mutation detection in the duplicated region of PKD1 that circumvents the difficulties posed by these homologs. We have used this met...
متن کاملTwo cases of TSC2/PKD1 contiguous gene deletion syndrome
[2]. Sporadic cases constitute two thirds of tuberous sclerosis cases. TSC2 mutations are about four times more frequent in sporadic cases compared to TSC1 mutations and cause a more severe phenotype [3]. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD, MIM#173900) is a common renal disorder, occurring in approximately 1 in every 1,000 live births [4]. It is characterized by progressive bil...
