Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common disorder mostly characterized by cyst formation in kidney tubules.

RT-PCR analysis showed that the disease-associated mutations were present in transcribed sequences.

Abstract

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common disorder mostly characterized by cyst formation in kidney tubules. The majority of ADPKD cases is caused by mutations in the PKD1 gene, but no prevalent mutation has been reported. By heteroduplex analysis of the 3' single-copy region of the gene, we have searched for mutations in subjects from 40 ADPKD families of Northern Italy. Seven novel polymorphisms and three novel disease-associated mutations (R3718Q, L3851P and IVS45+56del25) were identified. Both missense mutations are located in the major extracellular loop of polycystin-1. The 25 bp deletion inside intron 45 did not affect 5' and 3' consensus splicing sites, but caused a 56 nucleotide out of frame-deletion due to activation of a cryptic 3' splice site in exon 46. The mutated RNA should produce a truncated polycystin 1 at the G binding peptide in the intracellular C-terminal end of the protein. RT-PCR analysis showed that the disease-associated mutations were present in transcribed sequences. In particular, RNA analysis of BHK cells transfected with PKD1 genomic DNA, including the deleted intron, showed that no normal transcript is produced by the deleted gene. This intronic mutation, found in a large pedigree, seems to be associated with a prevalence of cerebrovascular disease.
