The autosomal dominant form of polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has been linked to the alpha-globin gene locus on 16p. Linkage studies between the autosomal recessive type (ARPKD) and the 3' HVR of the alpha-globin gene cluster showed that the ARPKD and ADPKD are not allelic.
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease does not map to the second gene locus for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease on chromosome 4

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
We report on two sibs, both males, one born at 37 the other at 24 weeks of gestation, both with a syndrome similar to that seen in three sets of sibs by Gillessen-Kaesbach et al. [1993: Am J Med Genet 45:511-518]. Both propositi had polycystic kidneys and hepatic fibrosis indistinguishable from that
