摘要: Background Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by mutations in at least two different loci. Prior to performing mutation screening, if DNA samples of sufficient number family members are available, it worthwhile assign the gene involved progression genetic linkage analysis.
