Identification of Three Novel Frameshift Mutations in the PKD1 Gene in Iranian Families with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Using Efficient Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing
Background/Aims: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common inherited cystic kidney diseases caused by mutations in two large multi-exon genes, PKD1 and PKD2. High allelic heterogeneity and duplication of PKD1 exons 1–32 as six pseudo genes on chromosome 16 compli...
