Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations of PKD1 and PKD2. Murine gene targeting studies have shown that these genes play an essential role in development, with homozygous inactivation resulting in embryonic lethality. Recently, Pkd1-/- lethality has been linked to placental insufficiency. In this study, the placenta was used as a model to identify factors involved in these developmental abnormalities. Microarray analysis of Pkd1-/- placentae showed upregulatio ...[more]
