Novel method for the genomic analysis of PKD1 mutation in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease. Although next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology can be used to sequence tens of thousands of DNA molecules simultaneously. It has poor capture efficiency for the six PKD1 pseudogenes and GC-rich regions. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) technology can detect consecutive deletions of exons, but it is less sensitive for single-base mutations. However, pathogenic genes might not be detected in some patients, even when using the above methods. Improving the detection rate of pathogenic genes is an important technical problem hindering clinical diagnosis of ADPKD. Four pedigrees of ADPKD patients with mutation sites not identified by NGS were examined by other met
