## Abstract We evaluated 22 patients with endβstage renal disease (ESRD) due to adult polycystic kidney disease (APKD) to assess their knowledge of the hereditary nature of the condition and to determine whether they received adequate genetic counseling. Patients were evaluated by means of a questi
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a common autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by mutation in at least two different gene loci. The PKD1 gene has been localized on the short arm of chromosome 16. The location of a second genetic locus in the human genome is not yet known. A large PKD kindred
