Use of targeted sequence capture and high-throughput sequencing identifies a novel PKD1 mutation involved in adult polycystic kidney disease.

Gene 2017 November 16
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a common inherited disease that is characterized by a progressive development of renal cysts. Approximately 85% of PKD cases are due to mutations in the polycystin 1 (PKD1) gene. Here, we report a pedigree containing nine patients with autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD). Using targeted exome sequencing of PKD1 and PKD2 genes, we identified a novel heterozygous frameshift mutation c.3976_3977insCT (p.F1326Sfs*21) in the PKD1 gene that segregated between affected and unaffected family members. This mutation is currently not present in the 1000 Genomes Project nor ExAC databases and is therefore a novel PKD1 mutation involved in ADPKD. These results provide a novel sequence variant for the genetic analysis of this disease.
