We investigated whether the -414 T/C polymorphism in the promoter region of the alpha 8 integrin chain gene (ITGA8) is associated with the progression of renal disease in ADPKD.
We investigated miRNA-mediated regulatory systems and networks that play an important role during cystogenesis through integrative analysis of miRNA- and RNA-seq using two ADPKD mouse models (conditional Pkd1- or Pkd2-deficient mice), at three different time points (P1, P3, and P7).

We introduce a novel method for measuring heterologous polycystin-2 channels in cilia, which will have utility in characterizing <i>PKD2</i> variants that cause ADPKD.
We have screened DNA from exon 43 through exon 46 and intron 40 of the PKD1 sequence by single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis in 175 ADPKD patients.
We have mainly used 3 highly polymorphic DNA markers, 3'HVR (D16S85), 16AC2.5 (D16S291) and SM7 (D16S283), flanking the PKD1 region on chromosome 16p13.3 to establish linkage status in seven Icelandic families with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
We have evaluated the efficacy of WES, WGS and targeted enrichment methodologies in detecting ADPKD mutations in the PKD1 and PKD2 genes in patients who were clinically evaluated by ultrasonography and renal function tests.
We have compared the clinical features of ADPKD caused by mutations at the PKD1 locus (linked to the alpha-globin complex on chromosome 16) with those of disease not linked to the locus (non-PKD1).
