Kidney: polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
WIREs Developmental Biology, 2014 Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a life‐threatening genetic disorder characterized by the presence of fluid‐filled cysts primarily in the kidneys. PKD can be inherited as autosomal recessive (ARPKD) or autosomal dominant (ADPKD) traits. Mutations in either the PKD1 or PKD2 genes, which encode polycystin 1 and polycystin 2, are the underlying cause of

Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2007 Renal cysts are common clinical findings, often incidentally discovered in the course of evaluating other problems. They may be either acquired or seen in association with a number of inherited and congenital disorders. The most common disorder, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), is an important cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
