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

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 ...

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 ...

Genetic analysis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 strains from patients in cyprus: Identification of a new subtype designated subtype I
(1995)DNA sequences encoding the C2 to V3 region of envelope glycoprotein gp120 of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) were amplified by PCR from uncultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from 24 of 25 HIV-1- ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Screening for mutations in kidney-related genes using SURVEYOR nuclease for cleavage at heteroduplex mismatches
(2009)SURVEYOR is a new mismatch-specific plant DNA endonuclease that is very efficient for mutation scanning in heteroduplex DNA. It is much faster, cheaper, more sensitive, and easier to perform than other "traditional" mutation ...

Somatic cell mosaicism: Another source of phenotypic heterogeneity in nuclear families with osteogenesis imperfecta
(1993)Mutations in the genes coding for the proα1 and proα2 chains of type I procollagen have been found in many patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a heritable disorder of connective tissue. The severity of the disease ...
