Detection of a novel nonsense mutation and an intragenic polymorphism in the PKD1 gene of a Cypriot family with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
Neophytou, Pavlos; Constantinides, Rolandos; Lazarou, Akis; Pierides, Alkis M.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (1996)Mutations in the PKD1 gene on the short arm of chromosome 16 account for 85%-90% of polycystic kidney disease patients in the Caucasian population. After the recent characterization of the gene, we started a search for ...

Loss of heterozygosity in polycystic kidney disease with a missense mutation in the repeated region of PKD1
Koptides, Michael; Constantinides, Rolandos; Kyriakides, George K.; Hadjigavriel, Michalis; Patsalis, Philippos C.; Pierides, Alkis M.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (1998)Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is a molecular phenomenon that denotes the loss of one of the two alleles at a specific locus. It is frequently associated with tumour suppressor genes in various cancers and also with ...

New amino acid polymorphism, Ala/Val4058, in exon 45 of the polycystic kidney disease 1 gene: Evolution of alleles
Constantinides, Rolandos; Xenophontos, Stavroulla L.; Neophytou, Pavlos; Nomura, Shinsuke; Pierides, Alkis M.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (1997)The PKD1 gene, which is responsible for the most common form of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, has recently been cloned and sequenced. Many disease-causing mutations have been characterized in this gene, ...

Screening of the PKD1 duplicated region reveals multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms and a de novo mutation in Hellenic polycystic kidney disease families.
Koptides, Michael; Mean, R.; Demetriou, Kyproula; Constantinides, Rolandos; Pierides, Alkis M.; Harris, Peter C.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2000)Mutations in the PKD1 gene account for approximately 85% of cases with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD1

A translation frameshift mutation induced by a cytosine insertion in the Polycystic Kidney Disease 2 gene (PKD2)
Xenophontos, Stavroulla L.; Constantinides, Rolandos; Hayashi, Tomohito; Mochizuki, Toshio; Somlo, Stefan; Pierides, Alkis M.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (1997)Mutations in the PKD2 gene on the long arm of chromosome 4 are responsible for ~ 15% of cases of polycystic kidney disease. Perhaps the only difference from the more common ADPKD1 cases is the rate of progression of cystic ...
