## Communicated by Mark H. Paalman Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetically heterogeneous disease caused by mutations in at least three different loci. Mutations in the PKD2 gene are responsible for approximately 15% of the cases of the disease. We have screened 14 Cze
Sixty-seven Italian patients with auto-soma1 dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) were screened for mutations in the 3' unique region of the PKDl gene, using heteroduplex DNA analysis. Novel aberrant bands were detected in 3 patients from the same family. DNA sequencing showed a C to T transit
Waardenburg syndrome (WS) comprises sensorineural hearing loss, hypopigmentation of skin and hair, and pigmentary disturbances of the irides. Four types of WS have been classified to date; in WS type IV (WS4), patients additionally have colonic aganglionosis (Hirschsprung disease, HSCR). Mutations i
