Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in PKD1 or PKD2, the genes encoding polycystin 1 (PC1) and polycystin 2 (PC2), respectively.
We describe a family with recurrent foetal presentation of ADPKD due to co-inheritance of pathogenic variants in both PKD1 [c.3860T > C; p.(Leu1287Pro)] and PKD2 [(c.1000C > A; p.(Pro334Thr)] genes.
In this review, we describe the biophysical and physiological properties of PC2 as a cation channel and modulator of intracellular calcium channels, along with how these properties are altered in ADPKD.
We describe a family with recurrent foetal presentation of ADPKD due to co-inheritance of pathogenic variants in both PKD1 [c.3860T > C; p.(Leu1287Pro)] and PKD2 [(c.1000C > A; p.(Pro334Thr)] genes.
We reported a very early-onset autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) family caused by a novel heterozygous PKD1 mutation; another fetus with DYNC2H1 compound heterozygous missense mutations showed mainly kidney dysplasia instead of skeletal abnormalities; and a novel PKD1 mutation, c.12445-3C > G, was confirmed to cause two wrong splicing modes.

Patients with ADPKD and preserved and reduced GFR demonstrate lower tubular secretory solute excretion compared with healthy controls and patients with non-ADPKD CKD.
A significant difference in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 2 concentrations was observed between T0 and T2 only in ADPKD patients treated with ALA (P = 0.039, P = 0.039; respectively), although we did not find a significant difference in interleukin-6, interleukin -1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α concentrations in either group.

To this end, peri-adventitial innervation of renal arteries was studied using morphological methods from 49 patients in total: 29 underwent surgical nephrectomies for ADPKD and 20 non-dialysis patients (CTRL group) undergoing nephrectomy for other diseases.
Several Nrf2 activators are at various stages of clinical development and are being tested in clinical trials for chronic kidney disease (CKD) including diabetic kidney disease, Alport syndrome, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
We reported a very early-onset autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) family caused by a novel heterozygous PKD1 mutation; another fetus with DYNC2H1 compound heterozygous missense mutations showed mainly kidney dysplasia instead of skeletal abnormalities; and a novel PKD1 mutation, c.12445-3C > G, was confirmed to cause two wrong splicing modes.
Low bone turnover osteopenia has been reported in mice with conditional deletion of the PKD1 and PKD2 genes in osteoblasts, and preliminary clinical data also suggest suppressed bone turnover in patients with ADPKD.
Mutation or deletion of the gene encoding for PC2 results in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a condition characterized by numerous fluid-filled cysts.
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are genetically distinct, with ADPKD usually caused by the genes <i>PKD1</i> or <i>PKD2</i> (encoding polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, respectively) and ARPKD caused by <i>PKHD1</i> (encoding fibrocystin/polyductin [FPC]).
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) typically results from a mutation in the PKD1 and PKD2 genes, which code for polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), respectively.
PKD1 and PKD2 variants were identified by direct gene sequencing and/or multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) in 125 unrelated patients of ADPKD.
