Journal ArticleDOI
PKD2, a Gene for Polycystic Kidney Disease That Encodes an Integral Membrane Protein
Toshio Mochizuki,Guanqing Wu,Tomohito Hayashi,Stavroulla Xenophontos,Barbera Veldhuisen,Jasper J. Saris,David Reynolds,Yiqiang Cai,Patricia A. Gabow,Alkis Pierides,William J. Kimberling,Martijn H. Breuning,Constantinos Deltas,Dorien J.M. Peters,Stefan Somlo +14 more
TL;DR: A second gene for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease was identified by positional cloning and it has amino acid similarity with PKD1, the Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of PKD 1, and the family of voltage-activated calcium channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alpha-1 antitrypsin Null mutations and severity of emphysema
TL;DR: Serum levels of AAT are correlated with the severity of pulmonary phenotype, and subjects with Null mutations should be considered a subgroup at particularly high risk of emphysema within AAT deficiency (AATD).
Journal ArticleDOI
A spectrum of mutations in the second gene for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD2)
Barbera Veldhuisen,Jasper J. Saris,S. de Haij,Tomohito Hayashi,David Reynolds,Toshio Mochizuki,R. Elles,R. Fossdal,Nadja Bogdanova,M. A. van Dijk,Eliecer Coto,David Ravine,S. Nôrby,Christine Verellen-Dumoulin,Martijn H. Breuning,Stefan Somlo,Dorien J.M. Peters +16 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the first step toward cyst formation in PKD2 patients is the loss of one functional copy of polycystin-2, which shows amino acid similarity to the PKD1 gene product and to the family of voltage-activated calcium channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aberrant Splicing in the PKD2 Gene as a Cause of Polycystic Kidney Disease
David Reynolds,Tomohito Hayashi,Yiqiang Cai,Barbera Veldhuisen,Terry Watnick,Xosé M. Lens,Toshio Mochizuki,Feng Qian,Yoshiko Maeda,Li Li,Ragnheidur Fossdal,Eliecer Coto,Guanqing Wu,Martijn H. Breuning,Gregory G. Germino,Dorien J.M. Peters,Stefan Somlo,Stefan Somlo +17 more
TL;DR: There are reduced levels of normal polycystin-2 protein in lymphoblast lines from PKD2-affected individuals and that truncated mutant polycystic kidney disease cannot be detected in patient lymphoblasts, suggesting that the latter may be unstable in at least some tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Location of mutations within the PKD2 gene influences clinical outcome.
Nick Hateboer,Barbera Veldhuisen,Dorien J.M. Peters,Martijn H. Breuning,Jose L. San-Millan,Nadja Bogdanova,Eliecer Coto,Marjan A. van Dijk,Ali R. Afzal,Steve Jeffery,A K Saggar-Malik,Roser Torra,Dimitrakov D,Isabel Martínez,Saturnino Sanz de Castro,Michael Krawczak,David Ravine +16 more
TL;DR: The identification of groups of mutations in the PKD2 gene, which differ significantly with respect to clinical outcome, is to the authors' knowledge the first description of a genotype/phenotype correlation in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
