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
Hepatic cysts are a major manifestation of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. This study examined 239 autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease patients and 189 unaffected family members to define the factors that influence the presence and severity of hepatic cysts.

## Background: Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (adpkd) is characterized by gradual renal enlargement and cyst growth prior to loss of renal function. standard radiographic imaging has not provided the resolution and accuracy necessary to detect small changes in renal volume or to relia
The polymorphic DNA probe VK5B (D16S94) was mapped by genetic linkage in families from the Centre d'Etude de Polymorphisme Humain (CEPH) as being in the same interval as the autosomal dominant adult polycystic kidney disease locus (PKD1). The maximum likelihood estimate of the genetic location of VK
