A Spectrum of Mutations in the Second Gene for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD2)

Abstract: Recently the second gene for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), located on chromosome 4q21-q22, has been cloned and characterized. The gene encodes an integral membrane protein, polycystin-2, that shows amino acid similarity to the PKD1 gene product and to the family of voltage-activated calcium (and sodium) channels. We have systematically screened the gene for mutations by single-strand conformation-polymorphism analysis in 35 families with the second type of ADPKD and have identified 20 m… Show more

“…However, considerable renal disease variability (age range of onset of ESRD, 40 to 88 yr) was also evident between individual patients. described (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25), and the remaining mutations from 21 families are reported here for the first time. The diagnosis of ADPKD in the patients and at-risk individuals from each study family was established using well-established ultrasound-based criteria (26).…”

“…DNA isolation and mutation screening methods have been previously detailed (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). Single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP), heteroduplex analysis (HA), or direct sequencing was employed to screen all 15 exons and their flanking intronic sequences of PKD2 (28) for PKD2 mutations in one definitively affected individual from each study family.…”

“…17 A total of 270 different PKD1 and 73 PKD2 mutations are described in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD), illustrating the high level of allelic heterogeneity; most mutations are unique to a single family. [17][18][19] The majority of changes are predicted to truncate the proteins, although a significant number of missense changes have been described. …”

“…Although the germline mutations at PKD2 14 and PKD1 15 are probably inactivating, controversy exists over the additional steps necessary for focal cyst development. Evidence of loss of heterozygosity in individual PKD1 renal 16,17 and liver cysts 18 and recent data from targeted disruption of the mouse Pkd2 gene 19 favor a two-hit mechanism involving somatic inactivation of the normal allele.…”
