Cyst formation in the PKD2 (1-703) transgenic rat precedes deregulation of proliferation-related pathways

Koupepidou, P.; Felekkis, Kyriacos N.; Kränzlin, B.; Sticht, C.; Gretz, N.; Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2010)

Background: Polycystic Kidney Disease is characterized by the formation of large fluid-filled cysts that eventually destroy the renal parenchyma leading to end-stage renal failure. Although remarkable progress has been ...

Mutations of the human polycystic kidney disease 2 (PKD2) gene

Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D. (2001)

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited nephropathy, usually of late onset (onset between third to seventh decade), primarily characterized by the formation of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. ...
