Genetic Syndromes and Imprinting

Background. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common genetic renal disorder with an incidence of 1:1000. Mutations in two genes (PKD1 and PKD2) have been identified as causative. Eighty-five percent of patients with ADPKD carry their mutation in the PKD1 gene. So far, > 500 mutations for PKD1 and > 120 mutations for PKD2, respectively, are known.
