Article
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease - Type 2. Ultrasound, genetic and clinical correlations
(2000)Background. Ultrasound, genetic and clinical correlations are available for ADPKD-1, but lacking for ADPKD-2. The present study was carried out to address: (i) the age-related diagnostic usefulness of ultrasound compared ...

Article
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: Molecular genetics and molecular pathogenesis
(2000)Mutations in three different genes, PKD1, PKD2 and PKD3, can cause a very similar clinical picture of the autosomal dominant form of polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Apparently, mutations in the PKD3 gene, which is still ...

Article
Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease: Diagnosis, classification, and management - A KDIGO consensus report
(2015)Rare autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease is caused by mutations in the genes encoding uromodulin (UMOD), hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF1B), renin (REN), and mucin-1 (MUC1). Multiple names have been ...

Article
Autosomal-dominant medullary cystic kidney disease type 1: Clinical and molecular findings in six large Cypriot familiesAAA
(2002)Background. Autosomal-dominant medullary cystic kidney disease (ADMCKD), a hereditary chronic interstitial nephropathy, recently attracted attention because of the cloning or mapping of certain gene loci, namely NPHP1, ...

Article
Chromosome 1 localization of a gene for autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease (ADMCKD)
(1998)There is a group of inherited cystic nephropathies that are characterized by juvenile onset recessive inheritance (familial juvenile nephronophthisis, FJN) or by adult onset dominant inheritance (medullary cystic disease, ...

Article
Chromosome 4 localization of a second gene for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
(1993)Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. A gene defect located on the short arm of chromosome 16 is responsible for the disease in roughly 86% of affected European ...

Article
Cystic diseases of the kidney molecular biology and genetics
(2010)Context.-Cystic diseases of the kidney are a very heterogeneous group of renal inherited conditions, with more than 33 genes involved and encompassing Xlinked, autosomal dominant, and autosomal recessive inheritance. ...

Article
Detection of a novel nonsense mutation and an intragenic polymorphism in the PKD1 gene of a Cypriot family with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
(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 ...

Article
Evidence for association of endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism with earlier progression to end-stage renal disease in a cohort of Hellens from Greece and Cyprus
(2004)Nitric oxide (NO) is thought to be an important factor in the deterioration of renal function. A variable-number tandem 27-bp repeat in intron 4 of the endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene has been found to ...

Article
Genetic evidence for a trans-heterozygous model for cystogenesis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
(2000)Polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a condition with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance and adult onset. Two forms of the disease, ADPKD1 and ADPKD2, caused by mutations in PKD1 and PKD2, respectively, are very ...

Article
Genetic heterogeneity in adult dominant polycystic kidney disease in Cypriot families
(1995)Polycystic kidney disease is an inherited heterogeneous disorder that affects approximately 1:1000 Europeans. It is characterized mainly by the formation of cysts in the kidney that lead to end-stage renal failure with ...

Article
Genetic variation of DKK3 may modify renal disease severity in ADPKD
(2010)Significant variation in the course of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) within families suggests the presence of effect modifiers. Recent studies of the variation within families harboring PKD1 mutations ...

Article
Genotype-renal function correlation in type 2 autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
(2003)Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common Mendelian disorder that affects approximately 1 in 1000 live births. Mutations of two genes, PKD1 and PKD2, account for the disease in approximately 80 to ...

Article
Germinal and somatic mutations in the PKD2 gene of renal cysts in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
(1999)Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in one of three genes: PKD1 on chromosome 16 accounts for ~85% of cases whereas PKD2 on chromosome 4 accounts for ~15%. Mutations in the PKD3 gene ...

Article
Loss of heterozygosity in polycystic kidney disease with a missense mutation in the repeated region of PKD1
(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 ...

Article
Medullary cystic kidney disease with hyperuricemia and gout in a large Cypriot family: No allelism with nephronophthisis type 1
(1998)We describe a large Cypriot family with an interstitial type of nephropathy, inherited as an autosomal dominant trait that led to end stage renal failure between 51 to 78 years of age (mean 62.2 years). Twenty-three people ...

Article
Mutant polycystin-2 induces proliferation in primary rat tubular epithelial cells in a STAT-1/p21-independent fashion accompanied instead by alterations in expression of p57KIP2 and Cdk2
(2008)Background. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the formation of multiple fluid-filled cysts that destroy the kidney architecture resulting in end-stage renal failure. Mutations in genes ...

(2001)Autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease (ADMCKD) is an adult-onset heterogeneous genetic nephropathy characterized by salt wasting and end-stage renal failure. The gene responsible for ADMCKD-1 was mapped on ...
