An efficient and comprehensive strategy for genetic diagnostics of polycystic kidney disease


ABSTRACT: We established and validated sequence capture based NGS testing approach for all genes known for cystic and polycystic kidney disease including PKD1. This setup overcomes the complication of unspecific capture of pseudogenes by applying a mapping algorithm efficiently and specifically aligning reads to the PKD1 locus.

Renal cysts are clinically and genetically heterogeneous conditions. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most frequent life-threatening genetic disease and mainly caused by mutations in PKD1. The presence of six PKD1 pseudogenes and tremendous allelic heterogeneity make molecular genetic testing challenging requiring laborious locus-specific amplification. Increasing evidence suggests a major role for PKD1 in early and severe cases of ADPKD and some patients with a recess  ...[more]
