Autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease: Evidence of gene locus heterogeneity
(1998)Autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease (ADMCKD

Article
C3 glomerulonephritis/CFHR5 nephropathy is an endemic disease in cyprus: Clinical and molecular findings in 21 families
(2013)Microscopic haematuria is the presenting symptom of several conditions, either heritable or acquired. A well-recognized familial condition is Alport syndrome, either of X-linked or autosomal recessive inheritance, as well ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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
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
Molecular investigation and long-term clinical progress in Greek Cypriot families with recessive distal renal tubular acidosis and sensorineural deafness due to mutations in the ATP6V1B1 gene
(2006)The spectrum of distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) includes a genetically heterogeneous group of inherited conditions of both autosomal-dominant and recessive mode of inheritance. The basic defect islinked to the renal ...

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 ...

Novel PKD1 deletions and missense variants in a cohort of Hellenic polycystic kidney disease families
(2001)The autosomal dominant form of polycystic kidney disease is a very frequent genetically heterogeneous inherited condition affecting approximately 1: 1000 individuals of the Caucasian population. The main symptom is the ...
